The London Plan, the Mayor of London’s strategic planning document, is being
rewritten and will be available for public consultation later in 2009.  How do
we have our say about important issues like equalities and sustainability at
this early stage, whilst the document is still being developed?

To find out more about how these issues are dealt with in planning, you are
invited to a conference organised by the Just Space Planning Network in
partnership with London Sustainability Exchange (LSx).  There will be
presentations and workshops on:-
• Environmental Justice
• The Mayor’s approach to the Equality, Health and Sustainability Assessments of
the London Plan
• The Mayor’s Climate Change, Energy and Air Quality Strategies
