This cooperation reflects the growing interplay between urban planning and history in London.

While the Roman forum once served as a venue for 20 years, its decline happened due to[right era]-efforts by the Bouldigh Queen of Celtic, Boudicca, which threatens to take the city down. The site’s marginal walls are preserved, yet the impact of Roman dominates remains a subject of study. Henderson-Schwartz contended that understanding the past is crucial for appreciating the present, underscoring the importance of linking the past to the future.
