‘Housing is first of all a matter of imagining what kind of city you want to build’.
Stephen Witherford was interviewed at Appleby Blue almshouse for the BBC Politics Show in response to a letter written to the Mayor about Better Design for London by the Chair of the Assembly’s Planning & Regeneration Committee, James Small-Edwards. The letter urges the Mayor to use the forthcoming London Plan to embed evidence-based design principles and strengthen early-stage community engagement across boroughs.
