An oriented manifold possesses an L-homology fundamental class which is an integral refinement of its Hirzebruch L-class and assembles to the symmetric signature. In joint work with Gerd Laures and James McClure, we give a construction of such an L-homology fundamental class for those oriented singular spaces, which are integral intersection homology Poincaré spaces. Our approach constructs a morphism of ad theories from intersection Poincaré bordism to L-theory. We shall indicate an application to the stratified Novikov conjecture. The latter has been treated analytically by Albin, Leichtnam, Mazzeo and Piazza.
