“I want London to become a world leader in sustainable urban planning, design and architecture”
Mayor Ken Livingstone, 20/06/2006
Urban regeneration is undisputedly high on the Mayor of London’s agenda. The wealth of design projects coming to fruition all over the capital is true testament to this. But contributing to London’s historic and intricate fabric successfully and sensitively is undoubtedly a difficult task which needs careful consideration. Projects ranging from office blocks and housing, to parks and public spaces, are all subject to rigorous scrutiny by the capital’s design bodies because of the need to preserve London’s unique character yet modernise and regenerate where appropriate. The architectural community is now seeking clarification on how to deliver designs which tick all the boxes in the Mayor’s vision for London’s future landscape.
