As part of NLA's Housing programme, join us to explore sustainable approaches to housing design, delivery and maintenance.

London’s public housing sector is increasingly embracing low-carbon technologies and fabric-first principles to meet the city’s growing needs while strengthening environmental resilience. With population growth and climate pressures intensifying, the demand for high-quality, energy-efficient homes has never been greater.

From low-carbon new-build developments to innovative retrofit strategies that extend the life and performance of existing stock, new methodologies are redefining what sustainable public housing looks like. This session will examine the challenges and opportunities of integrating sustainable design, long-term maintenance strategies, and cost-effective delivery models into both new-build and retrofit programmes.

Drawing on insights from across London, the discussion will explore how these sustainable approaches can act as catalysts for healthier neighbourhoods, reduce carbon footprints, and improve long-term affordability.

Join us to learn key findings from NLA’s recent study Homes for Londoners: A New Agenda for Public Housing and contribute to the conversation shaping the future of sustainable housing for current and future Londoners.

Full programme coming soon.
