The Kevin Lynch Memorial Lecture with Professor Kate Jeffery

What Neuroscience can tell us about our sense of place, and sense of direction

Kevin Lynch is known for his pioneering work on mental mapping, and the perception of the built environment, including the seminal publication The Image of the City where he wrote about paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks.

We are delighted to announce that this year’s lecture will be given by the neuroscientist Professor Kate Jeffery, one of the world’s foremost experts on how mammals navigate, and develop their own mental maps. Her research shows how our brains enable our sense of place and sense of direction, and the sorts of environments that get us confused or lost.
