A new report from Historic England (HE) – ‘Translating Good Growth for London’s Historic Environment’ – demonstrates how heritage can successfully underpin London’s growth.
Historic England writes:
The report ‘Translating Good Growth for London’s Historic Environment’ also argues that heritage-led regeneration and heritage inspired design not only creates interesting buildings, spaces and places, but creates jobs, increases footfall to areas, boosts communities and well-being and can be more environmentally sustainable.
Continuing our work in preparation for the consultation on the London Plan in 2017, the report’s 15 case studies from across London illustrate best practice and the benefits that can be achieved when the protection and enhancement of historic assets is coupled with innovative and creative solutions.
The report is part of our Keep it London campaign, promoting London’s historic environment as a key element of London’s future.
