<p>Mae: </p> <hr /> <div>Between May 14th and 18th 2018, Open City held five events a day for [https://open-city.org.uk/professional/green-sky-thinking/ Green Sky Thinking Week] at venues across London, exploring lessons learned from the capital’s best, sustainable, city-making projects. Addressing a ‘people first’ theme, these events were led by built environment specialists with a passion for, and expertise in sustainable design.<br /> <br /> On 17 May, prompted by the omission of the density matrix from the New London Plan, an industry panel discussed the drivers that will direct density in London's future housing developments. Organised by [[User:Mae|Mæ]] in partnership with [[User:Vastint_UK|Vastint UK]] at [[Sugar_House_Island|Sugar House Island]], the event was entitled: Designing for people or designing for density - can we continue to create urban liveability at ever increasing densities?<br /> <br /> The panel of architects and developers explored this issue in the context of London, as well as further afield, offering diverse perspectives on a challenging subject.<br /> <br /> Chaired by Alex Ely, Principal at Mæ, the panel included:<br /> <br /> * Michiel van Soest - Development Manager – Vastint UK<br /> * Jennifer Currier - Head of Design - Red Door Ventures<br /> * Peter Maxwell - Director of Design - LLDC<br /> * Oliver Bulleid - Associate Director – Mæ<br /> <br /> [[File:Green-Sky-Thinking-Event-Mae-Vastint-1.JPG|link=File:Green-Sky-Thinking-Event-Mae-Vastint-1.JPG]]Michiel van Soest, Development Manager at Vastint UK began by asserting that density needs to be considered holistically rather than simply as a product of residential design.
