Uniformity

The Forum

Available for over a year

Everything from transport to building regulations to medical science needs to be underpinned by the idea of uniformity to ensure safe and consistent production and delivery. But can too much uniformity, or misapplied uniformity, be bad for us? And if so, in what way? Tim Marlow discusses uniformity with the multi-faceted concert pianist and thinker Kirill Gerstein, distinguished sociologist George Ritzer, and award-wining architect Alison Brooks.
