Community Planning

London is characterised by its residents, who are determined to have a say in the future of this remarkable city, particularly when changes to their local environment are proposed. Examples of this include the broadly successful 1970s campaigns to prevent urban motorways, and the retention of Covent Garden against comprehensive redevelopment in the and the proactive work of the Westway Community Development Trust in the 1970s and Coin Street in the 1980s to support this community based action.

A wide range of Community and Voluntary Sector (CVS) organizations, also known as 3^rd Sector organizations, evolved to provide independent technical support and advice. Planning Aid for London (PAL) is one of these.. Core to PAL's mission is the idea that involving and supporting London's communities is fundamental to London's future as a sustainable, multicultural, and global city.
