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.
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
• Distinct areas:Territory: London
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
Issues
• Growing Population;• Distribution of Population;• Changing Population;
• HOW TO HOUSE EVERYONE
Growing Population• Grown every year since 1988;• 2009 – 7.75 million:• 3.06 Inner London• 4.67 million outer London
Population Distribution
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.
Housing delivery challenges3 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
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)
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?
