Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are beginning to carry passengers on London’s streets. What will this mean for the city, its transport network and the people who rely on it? As this new technology moves closer to becoming part of everyday urban transport, it brings significant opportunities to make journeys safer, improve connectivity and accelerate the shift to electric vehicles. But their introduction also raises important questions about how London manages this transition, from congestion and regulation to the future of professional drivers.

Why Attend?
As Shaftesbury Capital celebrate the 20^th anniversary of their first acquisitions in Covent Garden, we will explore lessons learnt for culture-led regeneration, place-making and the long term stewardship of a place for other projects including plans being brought forward for the transformation of the Smithfield-Barbican area, as part of a shift to place-based investment. 

Join this event to be part of a London-wide conversation on delivering the green skills and jobs needed across London’s growth sectors and supporting a workforce ready for the transition to a greener economy.

Sydney is traditionally known for its beauty – beaches, harbour and bush. But in recent years, it has quietly been undertaking a series of reforms to its housing, infrastructure and cultural sectors.

This event will explore how lessons from Sydney can be applied in the London context.
