Unlocking investment to meet London’s housing needs

Lunch Roundtable Discussion at the Labour Party Conference

Arcadis was recently appointed as technical delivery partner for Places for London, the TfL property company. The partnership will seek to unlock the potential of Places for London’s £2bn property portfolio by delivering thriving commercial and retail spaces in London to create a more inclusive, greener city.

But how can the Places for London model, where the city’s regional transport authority places assets in a development vehicle, help to address London’s chronic housing shortage and meet its target to deliver 50% affordable housing across its portfolio? Can the approach create better investable places in London, driving inward investment and contributing to London and the UK’s economic growth? And if the approach can prove successful in London, what does this mean for the way housing and commercial development can be delivered across the UK?
