APPG AGM 2017

  The Annual General Meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on London’s Planning and Built Environment was held on Wednesday 11 January in Committee Room 11 at the Palace of Westminster. Rupa Huq MP was re-elected as Chair. The APPG is supported by the London Society in cooperation with New London Architecture and Local Dialogue. A full write-up of the meeting will be posted shortly and the minutes will be available to download. The meeting also heard from Max Farrell of Farrell’s and HTA’s Ben Derbyshire, who each gave a presentation on the challenges and opportunities for the capital, some of the key points of which are in the tweets below. Corporate Supporters and Professional Members of the London Society receive invitations to each APPG (there will be at least three more this year).
