It's always a huge pleasure to be here with you and a great deal of fun."



This year, UCL Dean of School of Engineering Professor Nigel Titchener-Hooker shared their present work. He said at the end of the speech that both London and Beijing face issues, such as air pollution and overcrowding, which can have a real impact on the experience of living in those cities. So a big focus at UCL East will be on promoting positive and sustainable urbanization. UCL East will collaborate with partners around the world including Beijing.
