Cities in Transformation: Processes, Problems and Policies
2016-07-14 09:00 - 2016-07-15 17:00 | McGrath Centre, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Major cities are facing an unprecedented set of economic, social and environmental challenges. There is mounting evidence that cities are demonstrating very different capacities to adapt, cope with, and respond to such challenges and this is leading to diverse and unpredictable outcomes. The aim of this conference is to examine the different experiences of cities as they transform. The first part of the conference (morning of Thursday 14 July), will give an overview of cities in transformation in various parts of the world (e.g. United Kingdom, Germany, United States, China). The afternoon of Thursday 14 July will then be dedicated to a discussion of the implications for policies to address spatially unbalanced growth among the cities. The sessions on Friday 15 July are reserved for particular aspects of urban transformation and resilience (e.g. role of institutions, implications of new technologies, consequences of austerity, possibilities offered by big data and smart city technologies, etc.).

'Maynard Keynes in King’s College and the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money' Conference
2016-10-08 09:00 - 18:00 | King’s College
The event will feature remarks from the leading UK and US post-Keynesian scholars Victoria Chick and Paul Davidson. Three presentations will give accounts of post-war policy, contrasting the golden age with the liberalised era, in Germany (by Jörg Bibow), the UK (by myself) and France (by Renaud du Tertre and Hélène de Largentaye).
The event is organised jointly by Hélène de Largentaye and Jean Michel Massing. Hélène graduated in economics from Kings and was the first Secretary General of the Conseil d’analyse economique, founded by the French socialist Prime Minister ( 1997-2002) . Her father translated the General Theory into French in 1939 just before the advent of the Vichy regime which delayed the publication until 1942. Hélène will tell this fascinating story with Ghislain Deleplace, and Harald Hagemann will discuss the German translation (1936) .
Jean Michel has also organised morning sessions around Keynes’s wider interests, in particular his art collection and his book collection.
The full programme and further information about the event can be found here: www.kingsmembers.org/KeynesConference.
Last registration is 23 September 2016.
