Built Environment Technology

Technology and innovation shaping London’s future

Technology is changing how we plan, design, build and manage our cities. From AI and data analytics to smart systems, digital tools offer opportunities to improve environmental performance, inform decisions and respond to the needs of communities. Realising their potential means considering who can access these technologies, how they are used and the skills needed to put them into practice.

NLA’s Built Environment Technology programme brings together technology specialists, innovators and built environment professionals to explore how emerging technologies can address London’s urban challenges. Through shared knowledge and collaboration across the public and private sectors, the programme explores practical applications for a more sustainable, inclusive and efficient built environment, supporting London’s role as a centre for innovation.
