Join Places for London, The Crown Estate, Grosvenor, Max Fordham and Savills to learn about the tools and frameworks helping to drive sustainable transformation across Londons built infrastructure.

London's built environment plays a vital role in driving economic growth and supporting the health and wellbeing of communities. 
 
As the sector responds to ageing assets, climate change, evolving regulation and stakeholder expectations, how can asset owners deliver sustainable outcomes while protecting and enhancing long-term asset value? Sustainability and traditional commercial considerations need to be considered together and the only effective management response is an integrated long-term approach. 
 
Asset owners are under increasing pressure to improve the performance and resilience of existing assets in the face of climate risk, net zero commitments, evolving regulations and rising expectations from occupiers, investors and communities. 
 
Join representatives from Places for London, The Crown Estate, Grosvenor, Max Fordham and Savills to explore practical approaches, emerging solutions and lessons learned from across the industry.  They will share practical experiences, tools and frameworks that are helping to drive sustainable transformation across existing portfolios. 
 
Places for London will share details of its latest work to develop a new Sustainable Estate Framework and to embed a richer view of value and impact in its decision-making. 
 
Grosvenor will explore how unlocking retrofit can cut carbon, conserve heritage and create jobs and opportunities for local people, drawing on their Retrofit or Ruin campaign and work to increase entry-level roles. 
 
You’ll gain insights into leading industry practice, learn from real-world case studies and identify opportunities for collaboration that can help accelerate the transition to more sustainable, resilient and future-ready estates.
