LUCY MUSGRAVE JOINS PANEL FOR GOOD GROWTH BY DESIGN RECOVERY ROUNDTABLE SERIES
Publica’s Founding Director Lucy Musgrave joined the panel for two of the Mayor of London’s Good Growth by Design Roundtables this summer. As Mayoral Design Advocate, Lucy was invited to discuss the challenges that the ongoing pandemic has brought about, but also the opportunities to provide long-term benefits in London’s built environment, in response to COVID-19 .
Lucy joined the fourth and fifth Recovery Roundtables, titled Child-Friendly City and Public Spaces respectively.
For Child-Friendly City, the panel discussed how to apply child-focused city design principles to the urban landscape, against the backdrop of the pandemic. “The right that children have to the city and to play has been seriously overlooked in this crisis. The government advice on what has been sanctioned for exercise did not include play,” Lucy said. “The basis of [Publica’s Making London Child-friendly] report was that independent mobility is a rights-based issue that is essential for mental and physical and social development.”
For Public Spaces, the topics addressed included infrastructural improvements, street design, high streets, and the overarching importance of equality and inclusion in any projects taken forward.
