The NLA annual Housing Conference convenes leading experts and decision-makers each year from across the housing sector to examine the most significant challenges and opportunities in housing planning, delivery and impact at both local and national levels. 

 

A renewed public housing agenda is needed to meet London’s growth needs. As housing delivery has stalled, viability gaps have widened, and housing targets appear increasingly out of reach, ambitious approaches are required to deliver high-quality housing that Londoners are proud to call home. Success will hinge on new models of public–private partnerships able to mobilise investment and capacity at scale, supported by long-term government commitment. 

 

The conference will focus on the development of effective partnership models and innovative funding mechanisms to mobilise investment and unlock delivery at scale. It forms part of the NLA’s ongoing housing research and programme of events following the launch of the ‘Homes for Londoners: A new agenda for public housing’ insight study, which explores the evolving role of the public sector in shaping the next cycle of housing. 

This opening session invites leaders from across the housing market to share their insights on the future housing models needed to match supply and to ultimately meet London’s growth needs.  

This session welcomes housing leaders from across, and working with, the public sector to explore their evolving role in housing delivery and the vital role of public-private partnerships in mobilising investment and capacity at scale. 

This session focuses on the practical challenges and opportunities of navigating the pathways under the Building Safety Act, and how housing organisations can respond strategically to evolving regulatory requirements. 

The final session of the NLA Housing Conference highlights best practice in housing delivery and design, emphasising the role of high-quality placemaking in building thriving communities.
