Supporting the urban logistics that keep the capital functioning

Industrial developments are vital for London’s economy, delivering the essential goods and services to keep the capital functioning, fuelled by the continued rise of e-commerce and shift in buying habits. Retaining the highest quality industrial sites to provide modern warehouse and urban logistics space in the right locations is crucially important for the resilience of London.

London’s economy is served by a critical and diverse infrastructure that comprises often hidden industries. In recent years we have seen a resurgence in the enthusiasm for making, crafting and locally sourcing goods, while new processes are harnessing cutting edge technology to make manufacture quieter, cleaner and cheaper.

The NLA Industrial & Logistics programme brings together leading London experts across development, property, policy and planning to examine the evolution of London’s industrial and logistics sectors which support the capital as a world-leading centre and in its post-COVID recovery.
