‘Hello London Politician & Planner’
What is it about?
A special planner and politician consultation combining an online survey and a number of interviews. It’s time to offer reciprocity to TfL!
Inspiration: Transport for London own consultations and Dutch crucial stepping stone of the prime Minister backing protesters in 1974
Why this project?
To understand what the issues and constraints are that prevent planners to do one of their most crucial job faster: making roads safe for all. The ultimate goal is to find solutions to accelerate and improve their processes.
For whom?
For planners and politicians and, at the same time all campaigners that do not understand what hold them back to make our capital one of the most pleasant city to live in the world.
