Supporting the urban logistics that keep the capital functioning

From distribution hubs to warehouses and factories, industrial development is vital for London’s economy, delivering the goods and services so essential to keep the capital functioning on a daily basis. The rise of e-commerce and changing buying habits continues to fuel this demand.

London’s economy is served by a critical and diverse infrastructure that comprises often hidden industries such as food processing, bicycle manufacture, printing, builders yards and vehicle repairs, among many others. In recent years we have seen a resurgence in the enthusiasm for making, crafting and locally sourced goods, while new processes are harnessing cutting edge technology to make manufacture quieter, cleaner and cheaper.

Retaining the highest quality industrial sites to provide modern warehouse and urban logistics space in the right locations is crucially important to keep London functioning as a global city.

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