London Borough of Newham - Newham puts design on the agenda
Professionals in the built environment, including
architects, landscape architects, urban designers,
planners, regeneration experts and sustainability
specialists are being sought by the London Borough of
Newham to join its new, high profile, independent design
review panel.
Newham is undergoing an ambitious and far reaching
physical transformation. Twenty five strategic
regeneration projects are under way, including the
landmark developments of Stratford City, Silvertown
Quays and Canning Town, and of course the 2012 Olympic
Games and Paralympic Games. The London Borough of Newham
is forming the panel to ensure a built environment of
the highest quality.
Sir Robin Wales, Mayor of Newham, said: “The landscape
of Newham is rapidly changing and we want to ensure that
new buildings make a positive addition to our skyline.
“The panel will provide expert guidance for planning
panels considering major developments, which will result
in fit for purpose, aesthetically appealing landmark
structures.”
Seema Manchanda, Head of Physical Development and
Regeneration, said: “Newham has some of the most
exciting development projects in London. Our challenge
and responsibility is to ensure that investment in the
built environment is of the highest quality and we want
to champion excellent architecture and urban design. We
are looking for professionals who share our passion to
work with us at this critical time…critical because it
is now that we can influence what gets built. ”
To find out more about the borough, its projects and the
panel, professionals are invited to a reception at New
London Architecture on Tuesday 3 July. For more
