Abstract

The purpose of the project has been to examine 'to what extent and how might London accommodate additional dwellings while maintaining urban quality and fostering sustainable development'. This project's particular contribution is that it examines the potential for new housing in relation to established strategic concerns; of enhancing the quality of London's urban environment; of securing urban regeneration; and of planning for more sustainable patterns of development and transport. It does this in relation to three sources of new housing; housing on small gap and infill sites of up to 1 ha; the conversion of houses into flats; and housing in backland areas within existing residential areas.
