As part of the 'City Plan 2040' public consultation, the Development Plans Team is organising a series of resident-focused consultation events. We've already hosted two events—one in-person at The City Hall and one virtual event. Both of these sessions sparked interesting conversations around residential development and amenity; impact of tall buildings on heritage; and infrastructure development along with the provision of open spaces in the Square Mile. We have received positive feedback and valuable insights from both sessions and look forward to hearing more from you.

The next event is scheduled for May 16th at the Basinghall Suite, Guildhall Yard. Join us to learn more about the City Plan and our vision for the Square Mile's development up to 2040.

The Q&A session that followed the presentation sparked interesting discussions on various topics.
