Boris Backtracks On London Public Spaces

摘要

London mayor Boris Johnson has drawn up plans for a new public realm strategy, just months after ditching predecessor Ken Livingstone's flagship 100 Public Spaces programme.rnOnly weeks ago, Johnson's right-hand-man Simon Milton ridiculed the ex-mayor's programme, claiming it had only managed to deliver five projects in its six-year history (AJ 12.02.09).rnHowever, after coming under pressure from leading industry figures, Johnson is now backing a new plan called 'Great Spaces', which will be officially unveiled later this month and is being hailed as a more 'qualitative'rnapproach than Livingstone s 'quantitative' proposals.
