Creating an inclusive, accessible city means involving communities in shaping the places where they live, work and spend time. NLA’s Communities programme brings together residents, built environment professionals and organisations to share knowledge and explore how meaningful engagement can put local needs and perspectives at the heart of development.

Through roundtable discussions, walking tours and public talks, NLA connects community specialists with public and private sector leaders to explore barriers to participation and share approaches to more inclusive places. Insights from these conversations inform the wider NLA programme, bringing community perspectives into debates about London’s future.
