Project twinning helps council housing teams work together

Council-led housing developments across London often face similar challenges. Find out how Future of London is helping council housing teams work together to find solutions more quickly.

Twinned projects help London boroughs to collaborate more closely by connecting housing development teams to share their experiences.

This initiative is delivered by the Council-led Housing Network (CLHN), which provides London local authorities with support for their development teams. The network provides peer-to-peer support, good practice-sharing, and access to expert knowledge.

What do twinned projects offer?

Twinned projects offer all London borough development teams the opportunity to learn from other council-led development projects across the capital.

By connecting council housing teams working on similar projects with similar challenges, twinned projects provide a collaborative framework for boroughs to exchange market intelligence, project delivery experience, and development good practice.

Future of London will work closely with project leads to develop a tailored programme of knowledge exchange that benefits both initiatives. This could include a mix of roundtables, site visits, and issue-based workshops.

Unlike conventional learning groups, this project-centred approach facilitates knowledge sharing and empowers boroughs to collectively produce solutions to common challenges.

Additional benefits include:

Access to the Council-Led Housing Network’s expert panel
Wider network opportunities to connect with peers and stakeholders from across the development sector
Profile raising opportunities for your project through other Future of London channels.

Get involved

Contact the Future of London housing programmes team to discuss the profile of your project including their key challenges.

We will:

Find a matching project with a similar profile and challenges
Set up introductions and create the tailored programme to meet your joint objectives
Create a protocol to cover issues such as data-sharing and confidentiality
Provide continued support for the delivery of the programme.

If you would like to have your project twinned, please contact Federico Ortiz.

The network is open to all London boroughs. If your team is involved in council-led housing development, please register your interest here and we will be in touch. The Council-Led Housing Network is supported by the Mayor of London.
