After refreshments the guest speaker was Rosemary Feenan, International Director of Jones Lang LaSalle. In her enlightening talk Rosemary gave a fresh insight into urban planning and development. The number of questions asked and the animated discussion afterwards was proof of how interesting and engaging the talk was. Those present gained a new perspective on how cities can work today.
