Built Environment

London’s population is set to grow by 800,000 by 2016. The Mayor is aiming to build around 30,000 homes a year to accommodate this increase. Yet even today, London’s use of scarce resources such as energy and water is unsustainable, and our transport and waste infrastructure are under pressure.

We are working with business and government to help make London’s built environment fit for the future, through initiatives to:

Increase the speed of take-up of renewable energy in new developments, in partnership with UK and regional government and private sector developers
Integrate sustainability into offsite manufacturing practice in London through an ERDF-funded project led by built environment consultancy Mace
Develop a sustainable construction skills framework for the 2012 Olympics and the Thames Gateway

For more information, please contact Gail Freeman, Partnership and Communications Director.
