Abstract | This paper will be based on my continuing research on alternative options for London’s growth. It will focus on the current debate over hyperdensity development in London, suburban intensification, urban extensions into the Green Belt, expansion of existing Home Counties centres, new town development and regional dispersal. This relates to the work of the TCPA London and south East working group which I have been convening. This paper will review the impact of recent changes in Government policy such as the Housing White Paper and the strategy being pursued by the new Mayor of London on planning and housing development options. The paper will focus on the social and spatial impacts of alternative development options. |
