New breed of developer is learning from London's landed gentry

摘要

New London Architecture has a really interesting exhibition on at the moment about London's great estates. I mention it for two reasons - first, because it is well worth a visit and second, because by coincidence, I chaired a session at last week's London Property Summit at the Queen Elizabeth 2 Conference Centre, in which Cadogan CEO Hugh Seaborn, Grosvenor director Will Bax, the Crown Estate's director of investment and asset management, Paul Clark, and Portman Estate chief executive Bill Moore and I talked through a significant but often-overlooked aspect of London's built environment.
