It is not only a legal requirement when public funds are involved, it is also an effective way of getting the best for our built environment.

This document provides guidance on how to improve the quality of architecture and urban design across London through the use of competitive selection. It sets out ways of bringing the best designers on board to raise the level of design thinking and practice across the entire portfolio of GLA Group projects.
