Help Shape London's Downtown Plan
Official title: Downtown Plan
London is creating a new Downtown Plan to guide the area's growth over the next decade and beyond. The plan will set strategies for housing, businesses, and jobs downtown. A survey ran from June to August 2025, and a virtual meeting was held in October. The city is now reviewing feedback before moving to the next phase.
Why This Matters
Live, work, or spend time downtown? This plan will shape what gets built and where. It could mean more housing options, better transit connections, or new gathering spaces. If you've ever thought downtown needs more life—or less chaos—this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
The Downtown Plan will set specific actions for the short term (1-4 years), medium term (5-9 years), and long term (10+ years). This could mean new zoning rules for housing density, changes to where businesses can operate, and investments in public spaces. The plan will guide city decisions on development approvals downtown.
Key Issues
- How should downtown support residential growth and housing options?
- What strategies will boost commercial and employment growth downtown?
- How can downtown become a more vibrant destination for residents and visitors?
