How can we create liveable, sustainable cities? Can Bristol help define the anatomy of a green capital?

This keynote event in the Architecture Centre’s Living City season brings together leading practitioners from the design, health and sustainability fields to discuss how we can maximise the potential of Bristol’s year as European Green Capital in 2015.
