Opening Keynote Lecture: "Financialising City Statecraft and Infrastructure" Professor Andy Pike

Financialising City Statecraft and Infrastructure addresses the struggles of national and local states to fund, finance and govern urban infrastructure. It develops fresh thinking on financialisation and city statecraft to explain the socially and spatially uneven mixing of managerial, entrepreneurial and financialised city governance in austerity and limited decentralisation across England. As urban infrastructure fixes for the London global city-region risk undermining national ‘rebalancing’ efforts in the UK, city statecraft in the rest of the country is having uneasily to combine speculation, risk-taking and prospective venturing with co-ordination, planning and regulation.

The Opening Keynote Lecture is open for all but registration is mandatory.
The lecture will be held on May 23^rd (13.00-14.00).
