The Mayor of London has to produce a Spatial Development Strategy - strategic planning policy for the next 20 years. He is calling it “The London Plan”.
 
In 2001, the Mayor produced a paving document “Towards a London Plan”. In June 2001, RIBA London published “Design for a Greater London” containing proposals for London’s public realm, our response to “Towards a London Plan”. It was launched by the then Deputy Mayor of London Nicky Gavron. The document was produced in conjunction with a range of other bodies, all committed to improving the design quality of London’s built environment. See the back page of the above attachment for a list of the bodies involved.
 
In 2002, the Mayor produced the draft London Plan. RIBA London is delighted that so many of the recommendations made in “Design for a Greater London” are reflected in it. “Delivering the Vision” is RIBA London's response to the draft London Plan. 


The draft London Plan was Examined in Public in March 2003 for which RIBA London gave evidence|. The Mayor has now produced the final version of the London Plan and RIBA London is considering the next steps so we can assist with delivering the vision for a better city. Details| of the final London Plan launch and content. 

Delivering the Vision sets out how RIBA London hopes to assist with achieving the Plan objectives (specific suggestions|), and has formed the London Urbanism and Planning Group| to take this work forwards.
