Bob Weston of @WestonHomes discusses the London Plan: “we don’t write plans, but we do have to work within them. If we have a pound to invest, we’re going to invest in the areas that allow us to do so easily.” #MoversShakerdLDN

“The madness we’ve got now is that people want to build, boroughs want to build, but they’re being stalled because we cannot physically get people and buses up the road. We need investment in infrastructure to unlock these opportunities.” @JulesPipe #MoversShakersLDN

What have we learned from the London plan? 1. Clear targets and a pragmatic approach is key to delivery 2. The planning system sets a high bar for innovation 3. The plan has certainly been improved by collaboration. A fantastic keynote from @JulesPipe #MoversShakersLDN

Is the “should MIPIM be canned” debate now becoming a reputation debacle? Here are a few thoughts from me... #MIPIM linkedin.com/posts/david-mar…

As the debate around "MIPIM - should it get canned" reaches fever pitch, it does throw up an interesting PR and reputation quandary, that shouldn't be looked at in isolation. I was asked yesterday...

Replying to @pereiragray
@pereiragray says offsetting our carbon footprint isn’t all that we need to do. It’s more about a change of habits as a society. We all have a role to play. Wellcome Trust won’t invest, if what we’re investing in, isn’t going to meet what society really needs.

Welcome Trust MD Peter Pereira Gray captures audience attention on #sustainability challenge. There’s a real risk that Welcome won’t invest in real estate going forward if they don’t consider an asset does good for society. As he says, a really big question! @MoversShakersUK

Richard Upton of @uandiplc gives thought provoking comment about providing soulful transformation when regenerating areas. There’s a need to walk the streets and really understand the people. Look at what’s broken & fix it. But it’s not a cookie cutter approach

‘Definition of regeneration is making something better forever’ ‘Everything is connected’ ‘Property is theft’ ‘More people living on the planet than have ever lived’ lots of sounds bites from @uandiplc @MoversShakersUK this morning.

There is little proper direction from central government about meeting carbon targets. They need to allow local government the freedom to do what they’d like to do to try to meet these targets. Every house, lamppost, cycle route should produce energy, says @CllrDRodwell

None of the @MoversShakersUK panellists want a hung parliament at the #GeneralElection19 - we wouldn’t be presenting ourselves as a ‘grown-up’ country. Uncertainty and indecision is clearly bad for investment. #honorablecompromise

‘If you want a decent economy and country, run it like a bunch of adults’, @TorstenBell is less confident about the future, concerned about the lack of business investment, job vacancies falling, child poverty rising & inequality.
