Looking back on our successful event: London in Transition – Adapting Buildings to New Realities
The final stop of our 2024 neext European Talk journey is completed! During our Final Forum in London, together we explored the evolving urban landscape through thought-provoking discussions, inspiring exchanges, and impactful site visits.
Over the course of two days, while seeing the inside of the historic Courthouse @TheOldBailey and later gathering at our Host @DLAPiper & @UnionInvestmentRealEstate we had multiple interesting discussions with a variety of formats. These shared insights and expertise sparked fresh ideas and established great connections within our esteemed ecosystem.
With a view over London’s evolving skyline, we immersed ourselves in dynamic exchanges and engaging discussions under the theme "London in Transition – Adapting Buildings to New Realities." The participating experts brought valuable insights to the table, presenting innovative strategies for reshaping urban spaces, harnessing digital transformation to boost efficiency, and addressing the complexities and challenges of modern city planning. Through a variety of compelling formats and presentations, the event offered a thought-provoking exploration of how to build a resilient and adaptable London that meets the demands of the future.
