As long-standing collaborators and sponsors of the Academy of Urbanism’s Young Urbanist network, Foster + Partners and Space Syntax come together for a Young Urbanists led conversation between David Nelson and Tim Stonor exploring a fundamental question: where do good ideas come from? 

Reflecting on past collaborations and shared ways of working, the discussion examines the processes that shape both collective practice and individual thinking. Drawing on recent work, including the Queen Elizabeth Memorial in London, the discussion will consider how the dual processes of historic reflection and future foresighting can combine to inform new approaches to design, analysis, and placemaking.
