Cities Question Time

Urban Hub's Cities Question Time is back for the three Autumn Party Conferences in 2009. This fast-paced event provides an opportunity to debate the major issues facing our cities today – including affordable housing, transport links, employment and skills and regeneration and governance. Panellists will include representatives from Whitehall and Westminster, city government and business. The event is driven by the audience - come along and get answers to the questions nobody else thought to ask.
