Currently having the pleasure to study the draft London Plan for CIBSE. More updates to follow but this is a snippet of a short article I wrote for the next issue of the CIBSE Journal:
“The draft London Plan sees more stringent guidelines for some issues, but generally lacks clarity for most. The separation of ‘green infrastructure’ and ‘sustainable infrastructure’ hints at a somewhat blinkered approach to environmental issues that require integrated and strategic planning. At the moment, it is not apparent how the wider benefits of green infrastructure are being accounted for in relation to the city’s well-being, and more importantly overall sustainability.”
If you want to contribute to the next London Plan, don’t forget to put up a response before 2nd March, 2018!
