About the BSP Expo

The Bartlett School of Planning is one of the largest and most diverse planning schools in the UK, with more than 650 students from the UK and overseas, and with more than 50 members of staff. Our undergraduate students follow courses in urban planning and real estate, urban design and management, and urban studies. Meanwile, our postgraduate students explore the disciplines of spatial planning, city planning, international planning, urban regeneration, urban design, housing, transport, infrastrcture, sustainable urbanism, and real estate.

The first BSP Expo was launched in 2017 to showcase the innovative work and research of our students and staff, ranging from short essays and reviews to dissertations. Adding to the work of our undergraduate and master's students is the work of our PhD candidates who make an original contribution to the knowledge base of the many urban challenges that the city will face in decades ahead.
