Following on from the inaugural ‘London Explained’ podcast, the Society is pleased to announce a live event at Earls Court to find out more about the vision for the 40-acre site that was once home to the Exhibition Centres.
Earls Court – the largest cleared development site in London – is a transformational opportunity for the capital. The Earls Court Development Company’s new masterplan – crafted by award-winning Hawkins Brown and Studio Egret West in partnership with the local community – will provide a mixed-use development that includes housing, workspace, culture and landscape.
Hear from the developers, designers and local community about the bold plans to transform the disused land into a revived piece of city for the 22nd century, celebrating creation, innovation and inclusivity.
This summer will see the submission of the outline planning application and detailed proposals for the first phase of the development. This was the culmination of years of hard work and consultation with the local community, whose views and feedback were central to developing these designs which underpin the masterplan pillars of an inclusive neighbourhood, innovation, culture and nature, as well as a commitment to net zero.
This is, however, just the beginning of the next chapter in the story of Earls Court and we hope you can join us on the journey.
Confirmed Speakers:
Rebekah Paczek, Earls Court Development Company; Maysa Phares, Studio EgretWest; and Dave Hill, OnLondon and The London Society
Chair:
Pat Brown, Central
