Our vision for London is as a green and vibrant world city. The challenge is for better use of land and wiser stewardship of natural resources. We aim to bring the benefits of the countryside closer to people’ doorsteps so we can improve the quality of life for more Londoners. To do this we are encouraging a stronger sense of place, with better urban design, good quality of life with lower carbon emissions and less waste. Specifically, our strategic aims are to encourage and support: • Policies and plans to protect and improve the London Green Belt, Metropolitan Open Land and other green spaces; • Better use of London's land including the supply of affordable homes and the delivery of good design for all; • Promotion of London’s green spaces for people to visit, discover and enjoy.
