 No, I'm Sarah Worthington, a Pro-Director of the LSE and here representing the LSE. I confess I'm not sure whether it's true, but the issues at stake in urban development are so obviously crucial to the social and economic development of every one of our nation states that any thinking person cannot fail to be engaged. I do realise I'm standing here between you and the main event, so I will be brief, but I want to say something about the LSE and something about this event. First, the LSE is exceptionally proud to be linked with Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society, the partner to deliver this event, particularly with our association with all the Daniela faculty as a wonderful team. It's been a pleasure working with them over the past four years. It's a measure of the Alfred Herrhausen Society's appreciation and understanding of the issues at stake that they chose to work with an institution like the LSE and a group of people like all of you. The issues are not simply restricted to architectural planning. They involve a broad range of social sciences, a broad range of practical disciplines represented here. The urban age for the LSE is certainly our highest profile engagement in South America, and it's led from the LSE end as you all know by Professor Ricky Burdett and his wonderful team. It's a committed team of scholars from not just the LSE but from institutions all around the world, partnering with a group of professionals from all sorts of disciplines who are rude about academics for the real world. But that team that Ricky brings together delivers something quite special in considering development development. But this urban age is not our only engagement, and I just want to say something else about what the LSE does in South America. Quite a few of our academics are visiting professors in universities all around South America, including the University of South Carolina. And we run various events here. The most recent was through our Crisis States Research Centre in Providence, involving lots of LSE academics and a great number of colleagues in South America. We're proud to say that some of these research leagues are initiated by our ex-studies. You know that the LSE is the most international university in the world, and so our students come from all over the world. We have just under 9,000 students and they come from 140 different countries around the world. So when I say that we have 71 students from Brazil, it's not an insignificant number. Most of them are first graduates and they enrich radically the academic lives of the LSE and the social life, I think more South Americans have a reputation for in life than any party that they come to. They also ensure the LSE is a very attractive destination for these people in the real world, as I was speaking about earlier. We get some very high level South American speakers come to your public lectures at the LSE, so for example we hosted our President Lula, who just after he came into power, we had the Presidents of Chile in last year and was the Foreign Minister from Mexico. These sorts of speakers, I think, these sorts of events today, that really give the LSE a unique position amongst academic institutions in the world, that engagement between academia and the real world is something rather special. A real pleasure to welcome all of you here today to this two-day Urban Age Conference here in South Lala. What a wonderful venue, it's absolutely fabulous. This is the 80th Urban Age Conference and all the learning from the previous seven important systems and reasons on which they focused. Plus, a year or four research on South Lala and the South American environment brings us to this point today where we hope to have fruitful discussion about, as I know they called it, the grammar of success in urban development. Brady said that the LSE is proud to be working with Deutsche Bank, Southford, but we really could not do this without all of you. Your energy and commitment and public engagement over a hundred city-makers are here today makes all of this possible. So I want to welcome all of you on behalf of the LSE, and I look forward to joining with you over the next two days to work on this important initiative. Thank you all very much.
