City planning

Investment to ensure London, as the world’s first National Park City, is greener in 2050 than it is today, including investing in improving green space, greening the built environment and planting trees to increase tree cover. The Mayor’s target is for London to be at least 50 per cent green cover by 2050 -  not practical when there is a distinct lack of housing and areas for trees

The delivery of green infrastructure including sustainable drainage that manages flood risk and reduces urban heat - yes needed

City Hall will continue to invest in the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). The programme focuses on economic development, driven by inclusive design practices so that neighbourhoods, workplaces, transport and homes are accessible to all Londoners. The proposed gross revenue expenditure for LLDC in 2020-21 is £65.7 million (with a capital spend of £279.1 million) - you need to small build houses not just tower blocks and flats and stop converting so many properties into flats

How can you increase by 50% when you allow the removal of tress on streets and in gardens especially fronts to park more cars for your over allowed building of flats replacing good family houses. Gardens removed for same reason and paved over with no thought as to water being able to penetrate the ground so rain washes into streets to overloaded drains causing local floods. All very easy to solve

As a previous comment says, pedestrianizing streets in central London should be a focus. Walking around central London is currently really difficult as there are too many people shoved on to narrow paths.

Green infrastructure I think is great to focus on and planting more trees and greening the built environment are very good initiatives as well.

I'd like to see more pedestrianised streets. It can be quite crowded walking in central london with only a sliver of pavement.

If not fully pedestrianised, I'd also encourage shared traffic spaces which helps to improve road safety and make walking more pleasant.

Prior to living in London I lived in Bath which has a lot of pedestrianised and shared walking space, and shopping/wandering is much more enjoyable.

Every opportunity must be taken to ensure that there are significantly more trees planted throughout London and that any trees removed for whatever reason are replaced with natural local trees.  It should be made mandatory that grass verges are only mown ONCE a year so that wildflowers have a chase to grow and survive.  The only exception to this is where there is a proven risk to public safety such as at road junctions.  I live in the London Borough of Bromley and it has a shameful record of SHAVING its grass verges far too often which look ugly, at the very least!
