Future Waltham Forest

Working
with Jonathan Rosenberg, I prepared a spatial
strategy for this borough, proposing ideas for how it
could improve its public realm, make the most of its
housing stock, and overcome the barrier posed by the
Lea Valley. You can download the draft report
here.

I
developed policy options for and wrote
this joint

Barking Reach together with a strategy for change
in the surrounding areas.

I
led the development of a partnership between central,

Framework,

managing new development in East London.

High Street 2012
2007
Working
jointly for the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets and
Newham, I developed a vision and a prospectus
proposing ways of upgrading the A11, which links
central London to London's Olympic Park, so that the
2012 Games could make a real difference to the lives
of east London residents. My draft prospectus
is here.
Urban design consultants are now being
commissioned to take the vision forward.

Mayor of London launched this document, setting out
his approach to delivering London Thames Gateway
development, in autumn 2007. I drafted the document,
which you can look at here.
After the Games/Legacy Now

I
worked with regional and local government to agree
the process for master-planning the legacy of
London’s Olympic Park, advised on the brief for a
masterplanning team, and prepared the
Legacy Now document
to set out partners' agreed vision. The document can
be downloaded (in three pieces) from the LDA's legacy
