Explore the evolution of London's public spaces from post-war reconstruction to contemporary designs.

Designing London's Public Spaces examines the intricate relationships between planners, developers, and designers in shaping the city's public realm. It delves into the design intentions, the role of the designer, and the protection of 'publicness' in these spaces.

Discover the historical context, from state-financed projects to privately funded initiatives, and the shift in commissioning architects versus landscape architects. Uncover the value of emptiness and the impact of commercialization on public access. This is for architects, urban planners, and anyone passionate about London's urban landscape.
