Lecture series
The 2009 autumn lectures comprised four specifically themed yet related events communicating key messages and encouraging debate about the planning and delivery of the Olympic legacy. These took place in some of London’s foremost inter-disciplinary centres for urban research and were aimed at a pan-London student, academic and public audience.
The lectures on offer this year were:

Lecture series 2008
The 2008 lecture series took place between October and December 2008 and focussed on the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was organised by the London Development Agency. The events proved to be extremely useful for both participants and panellists alike, with over 200 people attending and contributing to the legacy debate.
Presentations from most of the panellists involved in all three lectures are available to download from this website for anyone interested in viewing them:
