CO-CREATING EARLS COURT – Re-writing the narrative! Image

Earls Court is an extraordinary, large-scale development project, that will deliver an estimated ‘4,000 New Homes’, ‘2.5m sq ft of Workspace’, ‘3 large Cultural and Performance Spaces’, and a ‘Network of Exhibition Gardens and Open Spaces’

Our next Movers & Shakers Core Forum ‘on location’ on March 20^th will be held at Earls Court. We will see first-hand the latest progress on the 40-acre scheme, of which 60% will be unbuilt - which is set to transform Central London’s largest cleared development site. This part of London is on a major transformational evolutionary journey. The final plans for Earls court will be submitted this Summer, but much has already been achieved.

The Vision is: to ‘bring the wonder back to Earls Court’, and to deliver community driven outcomes.

These huge ambitions are centred around social impact and collaboration with the local community. This is on another level to what is traditionally viewed as ‘community engagement’. It is rather, ‘CO-CREATION’ – with a ‘Public Realm Inclusivity Panel’ (PRIP) involved in every step of the journey (with a clear intergenerational lens) and a fundamental part of the decision-making processes.

Partnerships between the private, public and community sectors are incredibly important to the project, and this is guiding the next steps in delivering a masterplan that prioritises the future generation, skills, inclusivity, sustainability, creative arts, and innovation.

The on-site ‘Skills Centre’, launched at the end of last year, offers employment opportunities for both now and in the future. This marks the start of a new chapter in London’s story of innovation and skills.

The Earls Court 4 ‘Place Pillars’ are: Innovation, Culture, Nature, and Neighbourhoods.

At this Movers & Shakers event we will discuss and explore how co-creation with the local community can work and create ‘best’ outcomes, and how ECDC is delivering on each of their four pillars – both in the early activations already bringing the site to life, and in shaping the place which will be created in the years to come.

Tour:

The Core Forum will include a tour of Earl’s Court conducted by ECDC, and members of the community who live and breathe this project. During the tour you will have a chance to go onto ‘The Table’, a raised platform that runs across the middle of the site and offers an amazing view of the full site. As well as visit the newly opened ‘Skills Centre’ and ‘Conversation Corner’, which includes a model of the project and the masterplan.

Sessions – Themes & Content:
The content includes a keynote by Peter Runacres (Head of Urban Futures, ECDC) and a scene-setting socio-geographical presentation from Tony Travers (LSE), followed by an open panel session which will delve deeper into the development, the place pillars that set Earl’s Court apart, and how ‘co-creation’ with the local community is shaping the strategy and future plans. Covering also the challenges and opportunities for large-scale, long-term projects.

The contributors will discuss the future generation, skills + innovation, inclusivity, sustainability, and the creative arts + culture.

Planning the future of London at this large scale, involves strong leadership and collaboration. Join the ‘movers and shakers’ of the UK Property Industry at this important event, on location at Earls Court.

Opportunity for young team members in your organisation:

At our Core Forums ‘On Location’ in 2024, we want to offer more access to the younger team members in your organisation to join us, and to take advantage of this programme of events, which incorporate visits to some of London’s major developments, to learn from the discussions, and to engage and to network. To this end, we have discounted places for your younger team members. Typically, we are aiming this at the under 30’s but any individuals who are at an early stage in their career development are welcome.

If you would like to take up this offer, when you book, please send an accompanying email to Julia, and she will discount the price of the place(s) that you have booked for your young team member(s) to £99 + vat per person.

We look forward to seeing you all ‘out and about’ across London!
