NESTA POLICY BREAKFAST with Professor Ed Glaeser: Innovation and Cities

In recent years, innovation has become an important focus of regional and urban policy in the UK. But this leaves open some fundamental questions. Why are some cities more productive than others? What are the environmental and social costs of density? Why do cities rise and fall?

On 27 August, Harvard professor, Ed Glaeser, one of the world’s leading experts on urban economies, will explore what economics can tell us about the answers to these questions.

To find out more and to take part in the conversation, please join us for a thought-provoking debate. Full breakfast will be provided.

When: Wednesday 27th August, 8.00am – 9.30am
Where: NESTA, 1 Plough Place, London, EC4A 1DE
RSVP: http://edglaeserbreakfast.eventbrite.com

NESTA’s monthly Policy Breakfasts aim to strengthen the innovation policy community and foster debate and new ideas.
