Lots of thought provoking and challenging contributions at yesterday's #LSDC event 'Creating a Social Value in London’s Built Environment'. Alan Wright was there from BPTW and reflecting on the importance of understanding the inherent #Social Value that exists in a place before development particularly resonated with a significant number of very powerful testimonies not least the presentation of Dr. Patria Roman-Velazquez, Founding Chair, Latin Elephant, & Senior Lecturer in Innovations in Research, King's College London and comments from people from across London highlighting how they were "listened to but not heard", and a sense of 'social value greenwashing' where proposed #social value is given undue weight without regard for what is being lost.
