All that stands between us: Everything communicates, not everyone connects
An Accelerators event co-hosted by LCA & NLA
3 July 2025
Join us on 3 July at The London Centre for a conversation about disconnection, perception and possibility.
Our built environments are shaped by boundaries: rivers, roads, railways, regeneration zones. But beyond bricks and borders lie deeper divisions: economic, cultural, digital, emotional.
Whether shaping perceptions of place, creating dialogue across difference, or giving voice to those often left out of planning and development, communications is not just a support act – it’s a catalyst.
In this Accelerators event, we explore how the stories we tell, the words we choose, and the platforms we use can break down barriers in our cities – or reinforce them. From Canary Wharf to the fractures between neighbourhoods and megaprojects, our speakers will reflect on how to connect people, places and purpose in more meaningful ways.
Panellists:
Jane Martinson, author and journalist (BBC, The Guardian)
Carlota Rebelo, journalist and executive producer (Monocle, The Urbanist)
Tamsin Ace, Director, East Bank
