Join the East London On Location to hear from the experts who shaped East London's regeneration and explore key sites.
NLA’s On Location series heads to East London for a timely exploration of one of the capital’s most transformative regeneration stories. The event brings together experts from across planning, development, local government and culture who played a crucial role in shaping this transformation, reflecting on the importance of partnerships, community engagement and long-term value.
From new neighbourhoods and housing-led regeneration to cultural anchors, climate strategies and community-focused approaches, the opening session will begin with an in-conversation panel discussion, followed by an afternoon of guided tours. The tours will explore key regeneration sites, offering first-hand insight into how these ambitious plans have been realised on the ground.
*Please note, due to the popularity of this event there is a limit of 2 attendees per organisation.
