We help build better cities through knowledge, networks and leadership
The London Housing Network supports public-sector organisations to meet ambitious housing growth targets by enhancing their technical skills, sharing best practice and supporting them with a pan-London forum. The network also offers members regular GLA updates on key housing initiatives and networking opportunities to give more time for informal sharing good practice from across the capital.
Building on the success and feedback to date on the Housing Zones Network – which it replaced in 2017 – the network now has an expanded remit to cover housing more broadly. Watch for more expert-led workshops, a new range of topics and repeats of key topics such as viability and private rented sector development.
The London Housing Network meets monthly – see our events page for a list of upcoming sessions.
London Housing Network and Future of London members can send up to three people to events, space allowing. Alldepartments – corporate areas such as legal, finance and strategy – are welcome.
Future of London members are automatically part of the London Housing Network.
Local authorities and housing associations that aren’t FoL members are welcome to join the London Housing Network for an annual subscription of £2,500.
To join, contact Nicola Mathers.
The need for housing is ever pressing and the development context increasingly challenging. How can modern methods of construction such as off-site manufacture and modular construction help?
Across London, a growing number of developments view green infrastructure (GI) as valuable, multi-functional assets, supporting the delivery of quality homes and neighbourhoods. At May’s London Housing Network event, we heard from practitioners working to integrate GI within housing developments.
Resident ballots will soon be a GLA funding condition for major schemes involving demolition. To gauge response and understand how the public sector can respond to the initiative’s risks and opportunities, FoL’s London Housing Network focused on balloting in its standing-room-only April session.
FoL’s successful Housing Zone Network expands to address wider housing issues and rebrands as the London Housing Network.
