Learn about Placemaking in the City of London

Our goal is to develop  communities that have a clear sense of place and
identity - to create places rather than "no place".  These communities
will offer significant value to those that live in them as healthy
places that residents can identify with, form social bonds around and be
proud of.  Collectively, these communities will represent the ongoing
development of London as a unique, interesting, creative and outstanding
City of choice.

Sean Galloway was hired last Fall as London's urban designer.  He grew
up in London's Westmount community, but he studied in Waterloo and in
Sydney, Australia, and has worked in Oakville and beyond.  He has seen
what cities around the world can become; he has seen welcoming,
integrated, livable communities; and he sees lots of potential in London.

Meet Sean and learn about Placemaking in London, a design concept also
known as smart growth or new urbanism, which supports pedestrian access,
mixed use residences, commercial and live work and small parks and
neighbourhood meeting places.
