London Housing Strategy
27 FEBRUARY 2010
London’s first statutory housing strategy was published on 27 February 2010, embodying the Mayor’s vision for housing in London to:
- Raise aspirations and promote opportunity: by producing more affordable homes, particularly for families, and by increasing opportunities for home ownership through the new First Steps housing programme;
- Improve homes and transform neighbourhoods: by improving design quality, by greening homes, by promoting successful, strong and mixed communities and by tackling empty homes;
- Maximise delivery and optimise value for money: by creating a new architecture for delivery, by developing new investment models and by promoting new delivery mechanisms.

Comments
I believe London should be expanded out to the Thames Gateway to ensure retention of mega-city status and to expand population via creation of new job opportunities and housing. Housing in the Thames Gateway area should help promote London as the World’s greatest city while also promoting us as the best city in Europe. A series of man-made canal systems and inventive housing solutions could provide a Scandanavian-style quarter of the city with homes and new businesses along canals which also provide a solution to flood prevention via water flow and drainage control. Canal systems would also promote wildlife in the area.
London needs to be more inventive and it needs to grow. There would be plenty of room and job creation to allow a greater number of immigrants to co-exist with native Londoners – boosting London’s population accordingly – generating enough income to really improve the life of Londoners and the UK as a whole.
