A new report from the NLA, Connected Capital: London and the World’s Built Environment, highlights London’s global influence in city-making—showcasing how it connects talent, capital, and knowledge to projects around the world.

We’re proud to see three SOM projects featured in the report—Karlatornet, Corso Italia 23, and the Olympic Village—all of which involved talent from our London studio. Each demonstrates how design, innovation, and collaboration can create places of lasting value across diverse global contexts.

Their inclusion underscores SOM’s role in shaping cities worldwide through design excellence and partnership. Explore the research below.
