New London Architecture

Westminster: On Location

On Location

Thursday 12 September 2024
13:00 - 19:00

This NLA On Location conference presents the transformation of Westminster, in association with the City of Westminster and sponsored by The Crown Estate, Willmott Dixon, and Arcadis.
Home to some of London’s most famous high streets, Westminster is adapting to new lifestyle patterns and shopping behaviours to attract people back to the city centre. This On Location conference brings together industry voices, local authorities, developers and major stakeholders to provide updates on sustainable strategies, placemaking initiatives, and ongoing projects.
 
What are the strategies to deliver sustainable developments and neighbourhoods in the borough? Facing multiple challenges and emerging ‘retrofit first’ approaches, how can public realm enhancements and retail destinations revitalise Westminster’s high streets?
 
Join us to hear how Westminster is evolving and creating a vibrant, fair, and sustainable urban environment.
