Each debate will feature a line-up of influential guest speakers, who will take questions from the public.

The series kicks off with a debate about the issue that has dominated so many of the capital's headlines: Who can solve London's housing crisis?

Guests speakers include Minister for Housing Yvette Cooper MP, leading architect Sir Terry Farrell, property developer Nigel Hugill, Director of the Architecture Foundation Rowan Moore, Director of Business Planning and Regeneration at the GLA Neale Coleman, and former mayoral candidate Steve Norris.

The debate, chaired by Evening Standard and Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland, will take place at the Royal Society of Arts in John Adam Street on Tuesday, October 16.

The same venue will host the second in the series - Is Islam good for London? - on Tuesday, November 13, with a guest panel including author Ed Husain, Assistant General Secretary at the Muslim Council of Great Britain Inayat Bunglawala, writer and broadcaster Sarah Joseph, journalist Rod Liddle and Evening Standard columnist Andrew Gilligan.

Future debates scheduled for December and January will look at whether London is giving enough to others and who should run the city.

The date and venues are yet to be confirmed.
