This edition focuses on planning for beauty and celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Olympic Park in London.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Olympics in London 2012, and perhaps more significantly, the 10th anniversary of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. One of the most successful Olympic Parks created in recent years, with a legacy of sport, community and landscape. Some of those involved ten years ago and many of those still involved in its design and management comment on this astonishing legacy. This edition celebrates an Olympic Park as a place, which created something special in people’s minds and a designed London landscape that had not been seen since the creation of The Regent’s Park.
It publishes a series of articles refocusing on beauty in the planning system, creating a new generation of design codes, Natural England’s GI Design Guide, Design Review in Wales and searching for beauty in Scotland’s National Planning Framework.
