Turning New Buildings Into Local Jobs: Inclusive Growth on the Olympic Park | LLDC

Homes aren’t enough on their own — people need jobs, skills and a place worth living in. Toby Fox meets Vivian Murinde, Head of Inclusive Growth and Skills at the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), to find out how the corporation turns new buildings on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park into real opportunities for local residents. Vivian explains the “open the doors” mission — connecting world-class institutions on the park to the four surrounding boroughs through careers hubs (Build East and the Good Growth Hub), apprenticeships, paid internships and a mandated London Living Wage. A practical look at the inclusive-growth side of housing delivery, and why it’s central to the 1.5 million homes challenge. Part of 1.5M New Homes: The Local Government Challenge.
