Good Growth

Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.

About the team

The City and Place Unit is formed from GLA [Regeneration & Growth Strategies] and TfL [Growth & Master planning] teams.
