DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe story of the redevelopment of London’s Isle 
 of Dogs is one that has only partially\nbeen told. Most academic interest 
 ceased following the property crash of the early 1990s when\nthe demise of
  Olympia & York seemed to bear out many contemporary critiques. Yet the ma
 rket\nbounced back\, and so did Canary Wharf. The presentation will ask: W
 hat forms of planning have\nwe seen on the Island\; what role has design p
 layed in these\; what outcomes have resulted from\nthese processes\; and a
 s a result\, have we yet seen an urban renaissance?\n\nBiography:\nMatthew
  Carmona is Professor of Planning & Urban Design and Head of the Bartlett 
 School of Planning\, UCL.\nHis research has focused on the policy context 
 for delivering better quality built environments. His background is as an\
 narchitect and a planner and he has published widely in the areas of urban
  design\, design policy and guidance\, housing\ndesign and development\, m
 easuring quality and performance in planning\, and on the management of pu
 blic space.
