Description

"JUST SPACE is a community-led network of voluntary and action groups influencing plan making and planning policy to ensure public debate on crucial issues of social justice and economic and environmental sustainability.

Operating mainly through mutual support among member-groups but also through sharing of information, research and resources, we are now active at neighbourhood, borough and Londonwide levels. What brought us together was a need at the city-wide level to challenge the domination of the planning process by developers and public bodies, the latter themselves heavily influenced by property development interests.

To us, the planning system pays only lip service to the commitment to community participation: the gap between policy and practice is immense where democratic engagement is concerned." (https://justspacelondon.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/towardse280a6final.pdf)
