    Influencing plans in Opportunity Areas

    Just published: The London Tenants Federation and Just Space held a conference of people trying to exert some community influence on what happens in London’s Opportunity Areas —the 33 large parts of London where major developments are under way or proposed. It drew on the experiences of campaigners at King’s Cross over 25 years and the results are now published by LTF as an important report: https://justspace.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/LTF-Conference-2013-report-KX-Opportunity-Area.pdf
    The conference was part of a two-year project supported by the Trust for London to foster community engagement in 6 rapidly-changing areas.

    The conference also saw the launch of a web-based map (broken link) linking community activity in London which is part of the same project.
