Creative Land Trust has been established to secure long term, affordable space for artists and creatives, ensuring a vibrant and prosperous future for this critical industry, enriching communities and strengthening London.
We discuss how Creative Land Trust are currently working with London Borough Newham to restore a vacant property to beneficial use, including a focus on Newham’s Community Wealth Building strategy, Greater London Authority’s High Streets for All Challenge and the partnership approach required kickstart the process.
Through the roundtable discussion, we explore some of the challenges facing vacant properties and creative industries and how we envisage the two can be paired to deliver social and economic value to local communities.
This talk was part of The Space In Between festival hosted by Make It in Brixton in October 2021.
