LSE Cities launch Scenarios for Lambeth and Southwark research project

 24 November 2020


Commissioned by Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Charity, this research project will evolve potential ‘futures’ or scenarios for policy advice and decision-making in the face of rapidly changing and uncertain events, including COVID-19 and Brexit.

With the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and the UK’s changing geo-political relations, the extent of economic, social, and cultural change to occur in coming years is virtually impossible to predict, as are the wider implications it will have. This uncertainty is magnified in London’s Boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, which are home to not only vibrant and diverse communities but stark health inequalities.

Commissioned by Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Charity, this research project combines data, existing research, and community input to develop a series of potential futures or scenarios for Lambeth and Southwark. These scenarios will help inform future planning to ensure they can continue to address the local communities most important needs, even in the face of long-term uncertainty.
