This special mini series about campus development is part of 'Building the Future'. In this last episode we’ll talk about the future of innovation areas. We take a look at an interesting example: Canary Wharf in East London. Kadans Science Partner and Canary Wharf Group have formed a joint venture to develop a new 750,000 sq ft GIA life-science focused, wet lab-enabled building at Canary Wharf in London. The development will be the first phase in the creation of a world leading centre for health and life sciences on the 3.3 hectare North Quay site next to the new Elizabeth Line underground station. It's slated to turn the once-derelict Docklands into 97 acres of London’s most sought-after office and retail space. 2 guests from the UK discuss the importance of physical interactions and proximity, and ideas regarding future developments of such areas.

Host Rudy van Beurden discusses this topic together with Jinjie Wang (Associate Director Canary Wharf Group), James Sheppard (Managing Director UK & Ireland of Kadans Science Partner) and Paul Jansen (Vice president of IADP).
