COMPLEX CITY: LONDON'S CHANGING CHARACTER

Agency: Allies and Morrison

This research and associated publications have had a significant impact on planning policy in London. The work underpins the new London Plan's approach to design and means each London borough must undertake a character study to inform future growth.

More than this, it is fundamentally shifted the way character is now being considered in planning. By demonstrating the value of mapping the layers of character through the work, this approach, and GIS as a tool in this, is now being embraced across London boroughs.
