These must be designs that help shrink our carbon footprint, honour our heritage and make The City irresistible to young people: a place to work, thrive and belong, drawn by its culture, sustainability and care for wellbeing.”Tom Sleigh is also Chair of Goldsmiths, University of London, Chair of the South Bank Employers Group and Co-chair of the Mayor of London’s Cultural Leadership Board.
