Building upon NLA’s previous research on climate resilience, the circular economy and the evolving world of work, Adaptive London: Reusing Existing Buildings brings together best practice in the art of adaptive reuse across the capital. The report demonstrates a wealth of skills and talent through exemplary schemes, thought leadership and research that places London as a global leader in this field. 

 

From repurposed power stations to reimagined masterplans, London leads by example. Supported by progressive policy, circular economy principles, collaborative industry networks, and nuanced planning decisions, London offers a wide range of best practices in the adaptive reuse of buildings, which have been highlighted throughout this report. These projects are shown alongside deep engagement with a wide range of industry stakeholders, from architects, engineers, circular economy experts, public and private sector planners, to developers and construction managers. The report highlights the main factors driving successful adaptation while also addressing the challenges of reuse and retrofit, aiming to inform the industry at large. Collaboration, early engagement, innovation and place-based thinking are factors that drive positive reuse, whilst policy unalignment, viability and a lack of data need to be addressed.

 

 Today, London leads the way in adaptive reuse, the practice of transforming existing buildings for new purposes. The city has long adapted its extensive historic fabric, making it distinctly experienced in what is understood today as ‘reuse’.
