NLA’s Future City Makers programme inspires the next generation of talent for the built environment, connecting them with professionals and equipping them with skills to build fulfilling careers in the industry.  

 

Our aim is to: 

 

 

We support future city makers to learn about London’s built environment and the myriad of opportunities and skills a career in our sector can hold. Our world-class scale models of London and permanent and temporary exhibitions at The London Centre offer the perfect setting to learn more about the past, present and future of the city. 

 

As London’s built environment community, our network of professionals spanning architecture, engineering, planning, construction, surveying, and more helps bring the industry to life and provides future city makers with first-hand knowledge of projects of all scales, from local to masterplans. Meeting with industry professionals provides valuable opportunities to learn more about built environment jobs, and creates role models and mentors for the next generation. 

 

We partner and collaborate with charities and schools such as Harris Federation, City of London Academies Trust, and Inspire, to ensure all young people, no matter their background, have equal opportunities to learn about the built environment. Please get in touch with grace.simmonds@nla.london if you are interested in working together.
