Since its launch in January 2024, the New London Agenda has actively engaged the NLA London built environment community, a vibrant cross-sector network spanning public and private sectors. We have collaborated with our members, international visitors, investors, school children, and various communities across London to start applying the principles outlined in the agenda.

Over the last few months, over 260 NLA Expert Panel and Committee members have come together to address challenges and develop solutions for the six pillars of the New London Agenda. Our charrettes were designed to maximise collaborative problem-solving. Each session began with a provocative introduction to spark critical thinking, followed by table discussions where participants identified barriers to adopting the Agenda's principles. We then regrouped for collective feedback before participants swapped tables to brainstorm solutions, concluding with a session summary of key outcomes.

Each table featured a diverse mix of 5 to 6 participants, including architects, engineers, local authorities, developers, university leaders, Business Improvement District (BID) representatives, and community members.

Here, we present some of the key findings from these workshops and outline the next steps to advance the New London Agenda.
