Join this NLA Evening Talk with WSP to explore how the housing sector can move beyond fragmented approaches to deliver sustainable homes at scale.

London’s housing challenge demands a fundamental rethink of how homes are planned, designed and delivered. This discussion will explore the shift from site-by-site approaches towards greener, manufacturing-led housing delivery, moving from projects to products.

Bringing together perspectives from design, development, policy and digital innovation, the panel will examine how coordinating demand across projects, designing shared platforms and using standardised components can help improve speed, affordability and quality.

The discussion will consider how digital tools and manufacturing can reduce risks on complex sites and support more reliable delivery. What could this look like across London’s housing sector, from micro-factories and production networks within the M25 to digitally connected supply chains and industrialised construction?

Sustainability will be central to the conversation, exploring how circularity can be embedded in housing programmes at scale. How can manufacturing support more ethical sourcing, greater cost certainty and lasting benefits for communities?

Join us to exchange ideas on how these approaches could help deliver better homes for current and future Londoners.
