Greengaged is excited to host sessions from the ground-breaking London United team in their hotly anticipated return to action following 2gether08 in July this year.

LondonUnited is a diverse collective of creative professionals - from art, film, graphic-, fashion- and systems design, architecture, publishing, activism, theatre, social ventures, information technology, marketing, policy and magic. All of them are Londoners obsessed with sustainability and the need to help the community around them to ‘get it’ and to get on with it

London United’s first public appearance was in July 2008 at 2gether08: A festival of ideas, popular technologies and progress, where they led a two day workshop to form a fresh point of view on life in London in 2050. “The highlights: London United, a workshop from London’s hottest new entrepreneurs, activists, designers and technologists.”

Throughout greengaged members of the londonunited.org collective will be contributing to panels, workshops and special events. Londonunited are: aladin, Jamie Burdett, John Grant,Tyler Moorhead, Luke Nicholson, Jules Peck, Cyndi Rhoades, Juhi Shareef, Lea Simpson, Sophie Thomas, Ben Todd

The collective will accompany you on a memorable exploration of what it means to be in London in 2058 – and today. The London United sessions are designed to stimulate fresh thinking and a deeper personal connection with the challenges of designing a more resilient, sustainable and humane world, one city at a time.

“Let us take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London”
