Breakfast Discussion at the Labour Party Conference
Join us for a roundtable discussion, in partnership with Ballymore, exploring the role of housing-led town centre regeneration in London. With a raft of Government planning and housing reform underway and with a review of the London Plan in its early stages, new policy foundations are being laid to dramatically increase housebuilding in the capital and across the country. Attention will soon start to focus on delivery – where can these homes be built and who is best positioned to build them?

The Government has made an ambitious and welcome commitment to deliver 1.5m homes over the life of this Parliament, but what needs to be done on a practical basis to enable that level of housebuilding to be realised? How does housing underpin the Government’s five missions, boost regional economic growth and support the delivery of a modern industrial strategy across the UK?

London LSIP: Improving advanced digital skills to create the best tech city in the world
Advanced digital skills are essential for London’s economy today and into the future. Over the past decade, London has positioned itself as Europe’s leading tech hub, employing over 589,000 people in the technology sector alone – but it can and must be better at continually innovating to stay ahead of the curve. To do that and keep London as a global digital leader, one critical action is to tackle our major advanced digital skills gaps, as we set out in the London Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).
