We are pleased to be taking part in a series of Big Topic Talks held by Grosvenor Square as part of the engagement programme for the Square’s redesign, reaching out to both local residents, commuters, and Londoner’s further afield. The talks will be broadcast live and will include a range of speakers involved with the Grosvenor Square redesign. The Big Topic Talks will focus on key areas that affect the use of green spaces, how we engage with them, use them and imagine them as part of a greener future and greener city.
