Timed to coincide with the publication of Urban Wildscapes, published by Routledge and edited by Anna Jorgensen and Richard Keenan, this symposium at the Garden Museum continues to develop the themes found the book.

In particular, the symposium aims to examine diverse past attempts at ordering the city, ranging from twentieth century Modernist Housing utopias to Christiania in Copenhagen and the projects of the Urban Pioneers in Berlin; and the contemporary landscape architectural projects that seek to encourage wildness and disorder in urban landscapes; as well as aiming to explore the range of attitudes towards urban ruins and wilderness that provide the social context for urban rewilding.

Skills gaps have already been identified in the UK’s existing energy and process industries.
