Efficient Densification? Hidden opportunities for London's Regeneration

How can London efficiently densify?

Join us on Tuesday June 14pm from 6pm-9pm at the London School of Architecture to discuss the opportunities presented by forgotten parcels of industrial spaces, such as Stewarts Lane and the role sites like these play in a post pandemic London.

Run in celebration of the London Festival of Architecture , the discussion aims to uncover the opportunities industrial land presents for creating new, resilient, sustainable communities, using the Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea (VNEB) opportunity area as a case study for the future of London's densification.

The VNEB has extended the Northern Line, relocated the American Embassy and put a swimming pool in the air. But as we await the final touches of the Battersea Power Station and the last of the overpriced residential buildings, there remains a strategic portion of the VNEB which has evaded attention.

Please join us for a spirited panel discussion on Stewarts Lane Rail Depot and the “forgotten corner” of the VNEB.

The panel talk will address:

- The role sites like these play in a post pandemic London

- How the BDTQ/Stewarts Lane can contribute to London’s economic recovery

- How Industrial spaces can forge a new approach to a circular economy

- How communities can contribute in shaping SIL spaces

Speakers:
