Building London Summit 2021
Join London’s biggest gathering of built environment experts — Building London Summit 2021
2020 brought a sharp shock to our built environment sector. What needs to happen now for this vital sphere to build back better, and capitalise on opportunity as it does so?
Building London Summit provides an opportunity to dig into what the post-pandemic world means for the built environment across a series of three events, focusing on planning, commercial property and housing.
Why attend?
- Gain insights into how the sector is leaning into recovery through our three key virtual events;
- Planning for the future in London: as the Government embarks on overhaul of England’s planning system, what will this mean for London’s unique planning arrangements, and are the GLA’s devolved planning powers under threat?
- Recovery and renewal in the housing market: Before the coronavirus pandemic hit, London faced a housing crisis. As we look ahead, set against an uncertain economic outlook, will the capital still be facing its historical supply and demand challenges?
- Finding a new normal in commercial real estate: during every crisis, lies an opportunity. What is that for commercial real estate in London? Has the trend for homeworking completely changed the future of the commercial space we need to build, and how we use what we already have?
- Get the vantage point of a senior government minister on the route to recovery for London’s housing strategy in an uncertain economy (Invited speaker)
- Understand how business and government can work together to maximise opportunities arising from the recovery
- Leave our timely, informative and engaging sessions feeling informed, inspired and ready to innovate.

Finding a new normal in commercial real estate

Structural changes to the way that we shop and expectations about our places of work were already having an impact on the high street and office space.

The key players join us to debate what comes next for commercial real estate in London.
