Its audience are professionals, the public and politicians.[1][2][3] It is located at The Building Centre in London, England.[4] The Chairman is Peter Murray.[5][6][7][8]
Origins and purpose
NLA was founded in 2005[9][10] and its stated mission is "to bring people together to shape a better city".[11]
Activities
NLA delivers over 150 events per year, including a mixture of round-table discussions, conferences, debates, talks, walking tours and receptions. The organisation also publishes research,[12] hosts rotating exhibitions,[13][14] holds awards[15][16] and organises international ideas competitions, such as "New Ideas for Housing" (2015).[17][18][19][20] NLA's main publication is New London Quarterly.[21] New London Quarterly is circulated to 5,000 leading people with an interest in London's built environment.[22] Its galleries are open, free of charge, six days a week, and receive over 10,000 visitors each month from London, the UK and abroad.[23] As of September 2015 the organization had 10,500 social media followers on Twitter.[24]
New London Model
The NLA's permanent exhibition includes a 1:2000 scale interactive model of central London. The model is approximately 12.5 metres-long and represents an area in excess of 85 square kilometres of London.[25] It was improved and extended in 2015.[26]
