2024 East London Study Tour

Greater Western Sydney meets East London, North and South of the Thames.

The Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue is hosting its second East London Study Tour (ELST) in June 2024 to meet those people in the UK who had the big vision, planned the transport links, delivered the new universities,
framed unique governance models, consulted the communities and ultimately shaped a new city east of the Tower Bridge. This allowed London to manage its population growth, change its employment base, host an Olympics, build a regional brand, address regional social disadvantage and unlock trillions of dollars of economic value.

The 2024 cohort will get an insider’s view of the mega-projects and meet with local policy boffins, regulators, planners, developers, academics and community leaders. Importantly, the five-year break between visits will allow us to review progress since the Dialogue’s 2019 ELST and particularly look at social service provision and investment in a post-pandemic context.
