GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IDEAS COMPETITION FOR A NEW LONDON LANDSCAPE

Submissions are invited for an open ideas competition for a new London landscape. The competition, organised by the Landscape Institute, the Garden Museum and the Mayor of London will be judged by a panel of experts including the founders of New York’s High Line. Entrants are encouraged to put forward ideas for new green spaces and places in the city that could include innovations in transport or other services which could add to the capital’s green infrastructure. The aim of the competition is to show how green infrastructure, the network of green spaces, rivers and lakes that intersperse and connect villages, towns and cities, can have a huge and exciting impact on the way in which we live in the capital. The winners will be announced by Mayor of London Boris Johnson on 8 October 2012 as part of the High Line Symposium taking place at the Garden Museum in central London.

THE COMPETITION
Inspired by the High Line and coinciding with the symposium, the competition is a call for creative approaches to the development of London’s spaces. Submissions need not be constrained by any restrictions such as current planning law, land ownership, budgets or health and safety issues. Anyone may submit an entry. This is an opportunity for a new generation of ideas to be critiqued by the creators of New York’s High Line, Joshua David and Robert Hammond.
