Will London's river remain an industrial hub or a playground?
In short: As container ships grow larger and London expands as Europe's primary consumer market, Dr. Katherine Riggs explores the shifting identity of the River Thames.
The lecture examines the tension between three competing futures for the Thames: its role as an industrial powerhouse, a site for high-rise residential growth, or a destination for recreation.
This debate is framed by London's status as Europe's largest metropolitan consumer market. The presentation provides context on how these pressures will shape the river's infrastructure and urban landscape.
