london is awash with unaffordable housing. London’s development is for the few, not the many.
Just Space is an informal network of community groups, campaigns and concerned organisations who want fairer planning and development of the city, ACTIng together as a voice for grass-roots londoners and communities.
WHAT WE DO
We track the planning of London and work by supporting each other, bringing groups together and gathering and sharing information. We also work with The Bartlett School of Planning, LSE and other universities.
We focus on key TOPICS such as housing, the environment and the local economy. A significant influence is the Mayor’s London Plan – see the latest on the Plan and the archive of our participation in it. This year we have produced an Alternative London Plan for a caring city.
We send regular newsletters and host bi-monthly meetings, host conferences and run campaigns on critical issues. If you are a community group or concerned individual you can get advice, find friends and allies in our member groups, discover more about how planning works and Join Just Space.
“London councils pay £5.5 million per day to private landlords for temporary housing for 55,000 households.”
