New London Urban Design Unit to Deliver World-class ArchitectureMayor of London Ken Livingstone today announced plans for a new architecture and urban design unit which will support the delivery of world-class architecture and sustainable and inclusive design across London's built environment.
The Mayor's new unit - "Design for London" - will see the merging of staff from the Greater London Authority's Architecture and Urbanism Unit and the London Development Agency's design team, and will also work closely with the urban design staff from Transport for London.
A new Director of Design for London will be appointed to lead the unit, with a remit that will include further integrating urban design across the Greater London Authority Group, and collaborating with the design team at the Olympic Delivery Authority and national and regional bodies involved with planning, architecture and urban design.
Design for London will be based at the London Development Agency, located in their soon to be complete new headquarters at Palestra, in Southwark.
