Land Talks #8 is a week on Tuesday - if you're in London, come along for an enjoyable evening of lightning talks.

A potpourri of excellent speakers this time on planning crime, housing data hackathons, co-housing, private finance, rent controls, Georgist land valuation…

Come to PauseAI's "March Against AI Extinction" in November.

It's about the risk of humanity losing complete control to AI. It's fine to like/dislike AI for other reasons too - certainly I do! And it will be more fun than angsting about civilisational collapse at home.

Next Land Talks is tomorrow!

Get a ticket, bring a friend, if you think the cost of land, or quality of housing, or the consequences of those, needs radical improvement.

The final Land Talks of the season is the week after next!

The full lineup of speakers is up, and is too varied to compress into this post. Everything from co-ops and buyouts to freeing planning and land-value capture.

Land Talks #5! I'm running another evening of lightning talks about land policy.

This one's got quirky stuff about the impact of driverless cars on land, and crunchy stuff about how liberalising planning can reduce trust and cause more problems.
