Design London is a delivered exercise to hybridize engineering knowledge, business and design inside an educational institution that combines different disciplines to solve the challenges of the innovation society.
Nick Leon has been always interested on how cities change (the cities are where economy is being created) and how traditional natives of these cities relate with newcomers (immigrants and expatriates). Leon considers these new relationships as essential to take advantage of all the possibilities a city can deploy.
Nick Leon is a Visiting Fellow at Tanaka Business School, Imperial College London and Director Urban Programmes for the Think Play Do Group. Nick is based in London, but works closely with the Ajuntament de Barcelona and its 22@District of Innovation. Recently he has been appointed director of Design London.
Nick Leon has studied how expatriates around Europe are defining new identities in the big cities of the old continent.

Thanks so much for giving everyone remarkably wonderful chance to read critical reviews from this site. It is usually very nice and jam-packed with amusement for me personally and my office co-workers to visit your blog the equivalent of 3 times in one week to study the fresh secrets you have got. And definitely, I’m just always satisfied considering the astonishing knowledge you serve. Certain 2 facts in this post are really the simplest we have ever had.
