On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
