SUMMARY:The Future of Cities in Britain: a pre-election debate
DESCRIPTION:LSE Cities public debate\n\nThis public debate asks the co
 untry's leading parties what their policies are on making Britain’s 
 towns and cities more liveable and sustainable. What do their parties'
  manifestos offer on the built environment, urban development and qual
 ity of life? How will the inevitable conflicts between reduction in pu
 blic expenditure and the need to invest in our urban infrastructure be
  resolved? What role can British cities play in leading the revolution
  in the green economy and setting new standards of environmental respo
 nsibility?\n\nTessa Jowell was appointed as Minister for the Olympics 
 and Paymaster General in June 2007. In this role, she has direct respo
 nsibility for delivery of the Government's overall Olympic programme a
