Public engagements

Laure de Preux speaking on stage at a World Economic Forum event

Side projects where I have worked with my community to make sure health and environmental impacts are properly valued.

Campaign against the tallest building in Kensington

In September 2018 I presented the health and environmental impacts of the proposed tower on the Holiday Inn site to the RBKC Planning Decision Committee, which rejected the project. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, then took over the decision, and in 2019 I represented the opponents at City Hall. A judicial review later succeeded and the High Court quashed the permission.

Speaking for the opponents at the City Hall hearing before the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan (2019).

Environmental exposure and inequalities

Coverage in the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, The Times and the Daily Mail, and a BBC interview. With my team I also built a public-facing StoryMap.
