Towards a More Compact City—The Plan for London
The London Plan, published in 2004, is a spatial strategy, the first example in England of a new type of regional plan. It has proved to be very influential, establishing a clear vision for London as an “exemplary, sustainable world city”. This paper charts the turbulent history of planning in the UK's capital and then describes the main features of this latest plan, which is only the second statutory plan to be completed for Greater London. It then concentrates upon one of the six objectives of the plan which is “to accommodate London's growth within its boundaries without encroaching on open spaces” and it evaluates the ways that have been proposed to achieve this.
