The Region
• Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, Sweden.
Excerpt from a review by a student at LTH: The Danish-Swedish architects office UiD guest lectured on the 3rd of May (…) Their lecture caused an animated discussion about regional development across national borders, migration, changes of the Welfare State and the consequences of these different phenomena for the physical planning. It is the first time during my almost three years at the school, that we have had an actual debate about planning issues with a clearly contemporary perspective.
