The inaugural Conscious Cities Conference is a little over one week away. Happening at Arup's London office on March 1, the one-day conference is the UK's first event of its kind and is part of the year-long Health, Wellbeing and Architecture programming from the Museum of Architecture and THECUBE. Don't forget to register if you haven't yet.

The Conscious Cities Conference will delve into the evolving relationship between human behavior and the built environment, and the economic impact it creates.
