Industrial and logistics developments are vital to London’s economy, enabling the flow of goods and services that keep the city running. Rising e-commerce and shifting consumer habits have increased demand for modern warehouse and logistics space in well-connected urban areas. Retaining and intensifying industrial sites is essential for London’s resilience, with multilevel designs and local production supporting smarter, cleaner, and more efficient manufacturing. 

The NLA Industrial & Logistics programme unites experts from development, property, policy, and planning to shape the sector's future. Key themes include improving the perception of industrial sites, enhancing working conditions, and addressing the growing energy demands of logistics and data centres. The programme promotes quality design, smarter energy distribution, and sustainable intensification to create modern, future-ready industrial spaces that support London’s economy and community needs.
