Boris Johnson

Future of London is delighted to announce that the Mayor of London Boris Johnson will be speaking at the event.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson said:
"The Future of London Conference is an invaluable opportunity to bring together some of the key players involved in London's regeneration. The planning of our city is hugely important and it is crucial that strategic planning decisions can be taken without compromising on the quality of life in the capital or the economy. The building of 50,000 affordable homes over the next three years has the potential to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of Londoners while major regeneration projects such as those in East London have the power to totally transform an entire region. It is vital that we get these projects right and ensure that what we are building today will stand the test of time."

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF LONDON

The Future of London would like to thank all of our Speakers, Delegates, Sponsors and Exhibitors for making the 2008 Conference our most successful to date. We will shortly announce details of the 2009 event.

The Future of London is a partnership organisation made up of London Boroughs that are leading on high profile mixed community regeneration projects across the capital. In total, there are 20 projects involved and together they are responsible for the delivery of 110,000 new homes, the master planning of over 1200 hectares of land and a capital spend of 30 billion pounds.

The Future of London was established in May 2007 with the inaugural conference at the Institute of Directors, Pall Mall, London. The first annual conference included showcase of regeneration projects across London including Woodberry Down, Woolwich Arsenal and Barking and Dagenham Town Centre and Riverside. The conference also provided a European perspective with speakers from landmark schemes in France and Germany.

The three main functions of the Future of London are:

  • The Major Projects Delivery Group
  • The Annual Future of London Conference
  • Major Projects Website Resource and Tool Kit

The Major Projects Delivery Group is a quarterly project meeting of the major London projects and key stakeholders across regional and central government. The Group provides a forum for the large scale regeneration projects to meet share best practice, and scheme knowledge. The Group works in partnership with all tiers of government to enhance the scheme delivery process and to review current policy objectives.

The annual Future of London Conference is a valuable opportunity for senior London regeneration industry figures and the high profile major projects in London to network; share best practice and lessons learnt from successful schemes across the capital. The Conference is used by key policy initiators from Central, Regional and Local Government to set out the policy agenda for large scale regeneration projects in the Capital.

The Future of London Website is a learning resource for Local Authorities leading on large scale regeneration projects to access data and resources from similar schemes across the capital. The website contains best practice and scheme data from all of the major London projects. The website is currently being expanded to include a major projects tool kit to assist local authorities consideration the development of large scale regeneration schemes.
