26th Annual Conference – Regenerating London – examples from major cities

To maintain its reputation as a world-class city, attracting both visitors and foreign relocations, London requires continuous investment in its image, infrastructure, property and public realm. With substantial investment planned over the next 10–20 years, the Annual Conference examined the many challenges involved in regenerating London, and looked at the lessons for major projects.

Chaired by Sir Robert Walmsley KCB, Chairman of MPA, presentations covered the recent history and context of London, a planner’s vision, security and societal concerns and the legacy of the London 2012 Games.

The problems and resultant solutions involved in London’s regeneration could apply in equal measure to any project or programme, and the conference provided a forum in which MPA members could share experience, knowledge and ideas to improve the delivery of future major projects
