For Venice Takeaway (the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale), architect and urban designer Darryl Chen argued that audacious urban planning can spur entrepreneur-led economic growth. Against a backdrop of failing high streets and dying neighbourhoods, this debate will ask whether there is a radical way of putting planning in the service of the economy. Could the Localism Act be a mechanism to spark growth? How radical can or should we be in rethinking how we draw plans for our cities? A cross-disciplinary panel considers Chen’s proposal for an entrepreneurial working village.
