OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
With more than 2.5 billion people estimated to be added to urban environments by 2050 (United Nation), the complexities of urbanisation are yet to be explored. Asia and Africa will be at the heart of this urban growth with more urban infrastructure yet to be built. What are the dynamics of the urban change and what are the impacts of this rapid urbanisation on social inequality. This talk will look at the expansion of urban footprint and its environmental impact on people’s lives. Key themes of the talk will include urban sprawl and density.
