What brings you to BCO Conference/What do you hope to achieve? I was invited to speak on the subject ‘Beyond the Workplace’ which gives a nice opportunity for an exchange of views about critical urban issues in Milan and London. Apart from the opportunity to meet a widely diverse group of urban and building specialists, I hope to be able to explore the innovative aspects of the larger developments and trends taking place in an around Milan.
