Kelvin Campbell, professor University of Westminster and author of ‘Making massive assive Small: The operating system for Smart Urbanism', will be giving a lecture on this topic in the A1 Lecture Room, John Moffat Building, School of Architecture and Planning, Wits, East Campus, on Monday 20th of February at 8.30am.

An architect/urban designer, graduating from Wits in the 1970's, he co-founded Urban Initiatives, a highly regarded urban design practice in 1989. In more recent times Campbell has formed the Smart Urbanism Group, one of the largest online communities that brings together sustainable urbanism with social innovation.
He is the lead author of ‘By Design' (CABE) 2000, the national policy document on urban design, and the recent Mayor of London's ‘Housing Design Guide'.
