  1. London: Creating a liveable city for a changing population

  2. The Team • Title • London • Issues • Objectives

  3. The Team • Our team are from a range of backgrounds working for the National and Local Government (public sector), Developers (private sector), consultants and students. • Backgrounds in planning, urban design, economics, transport. • Andrea Kitzberger • Charlotte Morphett • Darren McCreery • Don Messenger • Esther Howe • Harry Manley • John Manns • James Mackness • Jonathan Douglas-Green • Rachel Ferguson (Co-ordinator) • Phillip Bentley • Zoe Green

  4. Creating a liveable city for a changing population • Looking at: • Housing the changing population; • Balancing resources spent on houses with others e.g. transport, open space; • Distributing and working together across London – at different scales.

  5. Territory: London • Capital of England and United Kingdom • Home of 12.5% of UK Population on 0.6% of land area: • 7.75 million live in 3.3 million households; • 4,900 persons per square kilometre

  6. Territory: London • Distinct areas:

  7. London Planning Context • National Government – Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) • Greater London Authority – Regional – elected Mayor; • 32 London Boroughs - elected Members; • Civil Servants / Planning Officers work at both

  8. Issues • Growing Population; • Distribution of Population; • Changing Population; • HOW TO HOUSE EVERYONE

  9. Growing Population • Grown every year since 1988; • 2009 – 7.75 million: • 3.06 Inner London • 4.67 million outer London

  10. Population Distribution

  11. Changing Population • Younger than anywhere else in the UK; • Over 65 year olds: • will increase by 34% to reach 1.17 million by 2031; • 10% disability and impairment; • More households – especially one person; • Poverty and disadvantage.

  12. Housing delivery challenges These three key issues impact on each other in a multitude of ways (e.g. a failure to deliver the required quantum can result in decreased affordability or a drive for affordability might result in lower quality) 3 key Issues: Quantum – building enough housing for a growing population Affordability – building housing that is within the reach of all Quality – building housing that allows its occupiers a good quality of life • Other pressures: • Competing land uses • Finance • Infrastructure/transport funding requirements • Sustainability • Policy

  13. Objectives to Explore • What implications do planning policy interventions and development economics have for emerging patterns of (residential) development in London? • How can the 3 key issues be balanced to achieve adequate housing for Londoners? • Should/can one of these issues be prioritised over the other two? What role can the built environment professions play in negotiation and mediation? • How is the market responding to the challenges of housing delivery? Is regularisation necessary in helping to solve these problems? • How have policy-makers responded to these challenges? • What more can be done? Are there possible changes outside of spatial planning? Are there any interventions that can take place outside of London’s administrative boundaries? • What are the impacts of the challenges faced in London(’s housing market) on its ability achieve inclusive and sustainable growth?
