Raymond Lucas discussed his work on the sensory notation radar chart and how this can be used to understand the sensory make up of places.

Caroline Pembroke and Mahbubul Anam discussed the key features of the regeneration of Whitechapel High Street. In particular how they need to take into account the senses to curate for different user groups and stakeholders in the regeneration process.
