How should Cambridge grow well? Peter Freeman to deliver the Wilson Lecture

This year's Wilson Lecture will be delivered by Peter Freeman, Chair of the Cambridge Growth Company.

A respected leader in urban regeneration and place-making, Peter is best known as co-founder of Argent and as a key figure behind the transformation of King’s Cross, widely recognised as one of the UK’s landmark regeneration projects. Over his career, Peter has consistently championed mixed-use, infrastructure-led development and collaborative, inclusive approaches to creating vibrant, economically resilient places. From 2020 to 2025, he served as Chair of Homes England, the Government’s housing and regeneration agency, where he encouraged a stronger focus on place and regeneration - an approach he now brings to Greater Cambridge.

The event will be followed by Formal Hall for College Members, which can be booked in the usual way.
