Join this webinar to hear how the built environment industry is delivering for all generations of Londoners.

From planning for play to delivering 15-minute cities, designing for Londoners of different ages can yield benefits all city dwellers.

This NLA webinar explores the challenges and opportunities of creating an age-inclusive city, showcasing the work being done to create child-friendly cities, engage young people in the design process and explore senior living in relation to city planning.

How can the built environment industry deliver infrastructure for urban childhoods whilst also providing senior-friendly amenities for an equitable, age-inclusive city? Where are we seeing effective engagement with people of all ages create better spaces for all Londoners? How can our industry develop engagement strategies that think about London’s population long-term?
