LFA Digital - Challenging 'Deep Pockets'

Iman Keaik, MA Architecture,University of Westminster, part of LFA Digital

The University of Westminster represented by Iman Keaik, is excited to host an online webinar about the four conflicting powers in London.

Who owns London? Are people becoming intangible and invisible in the city of conflicting power? How can we imagine a city of consumption ripped from its money power and transformed into a city of production?This project ‘Challenging Deep Pockets’ explores London as a conflicted city of powers, where people’s right to the city is a forgotten phenomenon, and the citizens step through controlled ground.The project disrupts the system. It aims to highlight the much-needed new way of thinking, bringing back people’s right to the city by fighting this powerful explosion that has almost irreversibly affected the city. The new London becomes the land of production, rethinks the power of trade and becomes a place where people PRODUCE, TRADE AND BENEFIT.This new approach to transform the city into a cashless city revolving around its production is also analyzed after the unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19. This pandemic helped us read the High street of Oxford Street as containing non-essential shops where most of them were closed in an emergency state. The imagined scenario is that the pandemic lasts few years while the state of the city deteriorates and the bird’s nests take over the streets. These empty unused shops will, therefore, accommodate new functions that serve the in-house production of London. The session will include the following:A short story &#x27;A tale of Four Powers&#x27; about London, A short film about the consumption of Oxford Street,Presentation of the Reimagined London,Join us for an open conversation that will lead to sharing of fresh ideas and views about conflicting powers in London.Event details:Digital doors will be open at 19:00 BST.
