Join us for the launch of NLA’s latest report that focuses on London’s unique story in adapting and transforming buildings for modern uses.
Join us for the launch of NLA’s latest report, Adaptive London: reusing existing buildings to hear from keynote speakers and their expertise on adapting buildings for future uses.
Building upon NLA’s previous research on climate resilience, the circular economy and the evolving world of work, Adaptive London: reusing existing buildings brings together best practice in the art of adaptive reuse across the capital. The report demonstrates a wealth of skills and talent through exemplary schemes, thought leadership and research, which places London as a global leader in this field.
From repurposed power stations to reimagined masterplans, London leads by example. Supported by progressive policy, circular economy principles, collaborative industry networks, and nuanced planning decisions, London offers a wide range of best practices in the adaptive reuse of buildings, which have been highlighted throughout this report. These projects are shown alongside deep engagement with a wide range of industry stakeholders, highlighting the main factors driving successful adaptation while also addressing the challenges of reuse and retrofit, aiming to inform the industry at large.
The report is part of a wider programme including an exhibition, digital publication and events programme at The London Centre.
