The built environment thrives on innovation—now it’s time to apply that to diversity. Our industry has never shied away from bold ideas. We’ve reshaped skylines, redefined urban spaces, and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. So why has progress on diversity been so slow? Thanks to Property Week for giving me the chance to explore how we can harness that same spirit of innovation to build a more inclusive, equitable industry. The talent is there. The ideas are there. Now, we just need the will to act. Real change is possible—because if any industry knows how to turn vision into reality, it’s ours Link in the comments VVVV Property Week WilkinsonEyre

We've now completed the first mock up of the Conventional Station façade at Initivo Consultancy Limited’s testing centre in Leighton Buzzard. The Conventional Station is where the Great Western Main Line, Heathrow Express and Elizabeth line trains will run when Old Oak Common station is operational.    This will be the visible exterior of the escape staircases that passengers will use to exit the station in the event of an evacuation. It has been a collaborative effort between BBVS, Lindner Prater Ltd, WSP and WilkinsonEyre to develop the light, modern design.

We were delighted to attend the launch of the highly anticipated London Growth Plan earlier today where the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, was of the keynote speakers talking about this collaborative initiative which aims to unlock the capital’s full economic potential by boosting productivity, attracting more international investment and creating new opportunities for local residents and businesses.   With Battersea Power Station and the Northern Line Extension being featured in the plan as an example of a successful public-private partnership which has led to the creation of thousands of new jobs, homes and a thriving new destination for the capital, we look forward to continuing to work closely together to support this ‘pro-growth’ initiative as we deliver the second half of this 42-acre project.   Discover the plan: https://growthplan.london/ London & Partners Opportunity London #LondonGrowthPlan #LondonisOpen #Wandsworth #BatterseaPowerStation
