Community-Led Plan for London

JustSpace, a network of community organisations, has been working for 9 months towards producing a Community-led Plan for London, to be ready in the early weeks of when the next Mayor of London and London Assembly take office.

Following progress made in two earlier discussions, this conference organised in collaboration with The Bartlett, Faculty of the Built Environment, brings together community groups, students and academics with the following aims:

1. To share the results of the February conference workshops
2. To discuss further work that has been done on the Private Rented Sector, Opportunity Areas, Participation and Inclusion.

1. To focus on the following key economic issues: - Policies to support balanced economic development between London and other regions - Policies to support a green economy - The economic evidence base: an analysis of meetings between Just Space Economy and Planning group (JSEP) and GLA Economics

1. To mobilise further academic support for the final stages of the work which needs to be completed during May.

1. To reflect further on the potential of University students and staff to support community based policy development at a London wide level.

The conference is free of charge but it is essential to reserve a place on Eventbrite.

Meanwhile, the tabloid publication produced for the previous conference plus write-ups of workshops and videos of sessions are all available here. This will be specially valuable for those who could not attend in February and want to get up to speed.
