Ellie was recently invited to speak at the Policy Forum for London’s event on the priorities for developing London’s night time economy.
Specialising in the economic impact of developments and proposals, Ellie spoke about London’s night time economy hotspots and historic growth, as well as the business case for the Night Tube. When thinking about the future of the night time economy she highlighted the need for continued investment in infrastructure (eg transport and public realm), a continued commitment to diversify London’s night time offer (eg night time openings of galleries and museums) and the need to ensure the planning process recognises the economic benefits of proposals, alongside balancing other environmental impacts.
Other speakers included London’s Night Czar Amy Lamé and Deputy Advisor to the First Deputy Mayor, City of Paris, Frédéric Hocquard.
