In the face of environmental, social and economic challenges, how is Westminster evolving? How will Westminster’s City Plan shape the borough? In an increasingly competitive environment, how is Westminster evolving to nurture growth and support a thriving economy while maintaining its position as a world-class destination?
How is the borough building communities and creating greener and healthier spaces that inspire and enhance quality of life? How can local neighbourhoods such as Soho and the West End retain their distinct character? What is the role of the local authority in curating a place? Can lessons be learned from the Great Estates in responding to the needs of local resident and business communities?
This afternoon session will bring together local stakeholders including council representatives, developers, investors, architects and occupiers to look at the future of this area. Lunch and presentations will take place at Regent Street Cinema. Study tours will then explore the key development sites in the local area and the day will end with networking drinks.
Please note: Tour A is now fully booked.
