Hear how London’s built environment is addressing the challenges, policies, and opportunities in scaling retrofit for a more resilient city.
Join this NLA Retrofit Summit, sponsored by WilkinsonEyre and CIVIC, part of NLA’s Adaptive London research and programming, to hear how London’s built environment is addressing the challenges, policies, and opportunities in scaling retrofit for a more resilient city.

By 2050, 80% of London’s existing building stock will need to be retrofitted to meet net-zero targets, posing a significant challenge to the built environment industries. Retrofitting presents an opportunity not only to drive down carbon emissions, but to boost economic activity, improve health and wellbeing, and support a more climate-resilient city, while retaining the architectural character and heritage that define London.

This NLA Retrofit Summit brings together senior leaders from local government, policy, planning, and the built environment sector to discuss the power of adaptive reuse in addressing the following critical themes that are driving the retrofit agenda in London.

The summit will cover key topics, spanning policy, commercial viability, planning and heritage, skills and supply chains in commercial and residential retrofit and the innovations that are driving the future of retrofit across the city.

This summit will explore these issues, learn from best practices and discuss ways in which we can accelerate the path to a greener, more sustainable city.

Full programme coming soon.

Please note the capacity for this event is very limited and therefore tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with a maximum of 3 per organisation.
