JOBS, INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACE AND HOMES — A CITY THAT DELIVERS IT ALL?

Date & time: 20/05/2024 — 7:00pm – 9:00pm

Join BusinessLDN, in partnership with SEGRO, for a discussion about the practicalities of delivering it all — jobs, industrial and commercial space and homes in London. With economic growth flatlining and development of all kind facing a multitude of challenges, innovative and bold solutions are required to kick-start London’s economy. The capital needs to provide modern and sustainable industrial space to support the retention and expansion of existing businesses in the capital and attract new ones to locate here. Likewise, London must address its housing crisis as demand continues to far outstrip supply yet new starts are at record lows. This dinner discussion, bringing key players from the public and private sector together, will explore what London needs to do to deliver a global city where communities and businesses thrive. Three key themes will be explored: innovation; sustainability and intensification of uses.

NET ZERO TRAJECTORIES; LEARNING FROM LONDON AND BEYOND

Date & time: 21.05.2024 4:00pm – 4:45pm

Cities across the UK are setting ambitious net zero emissions targets in order to mitigate climate change. Yet, the journey towards net zero is not one that any city can undertake alone. London may be at the forefront of this journey, navigating unique challenges and opportunities, but has a lot to learn from the rest of the country and progressive business practices. Collaboration and knowledge sharing between cities and between public and private sector entities are essential for accelerating progress and fostering results. 

Join us at the AtkinsRealis Sustainable Futures Pavilion at UKREiff for an insightful session where we will examine London’s net zero progress, uncover lessons from other cities and discuss the role that the private sector can play in advancing positive results for a more sustainable future.
