Dear all,

This week’s HPPE paper explores a very different aspect of economics, one that is literally visible and accessible: Olivia Muñoz-Rojas (University of Westminster) looks at the relationship between economics and the shape of the cities we live in. She will present on: "From Rebuilding to Branding: the role of politico-economic ideology in modern city-making”.

The seminar takes place on Wednesday, 4 February, in room EAS.E168, from 1-2:30pm. An abstract of Olivia’s paper is attached. HPPE is open to all with an interest in the history of economics.
