Description
Summary:"Really for the first time in London's history we are seeing a major programme of densification of areas prompted by a lack of land for new homes. Over the centuries, London has progressively grown outwards up to (and over) the Green Belt. Whilst the Second World War necessitated the re-planning and re-building of large areas, this decade is the first time we are identifying growth areas in order to recycle existing neighbourhoods and land. It is against this backdrop that Historic England commissioned Allies and Morrison to undertake a London-wide mapping of the city's character, identifying areas that could accommodate growth in keeping with their local qualities."
