Welcome to London Planning Awards, a home for considered writing on architecture, planning and the forces that shape our cities. We publish for planners, architects, developers, housing professionals and engaged residents who want more than surface-level commentary — readers who care about how decisions on land, design and policy play out in the built environment.
We’re always glad to hear from guest contributors with genuine expertise or a sharp point of view. This is an editorial site, not a listings board, so we look for original thinking, clear argument and specificity over generalities. If you have something worth saying about how London and other cities are planned, designed and built, we want to read it.
Topics We Accept
- planning policy and reform
- housing delivery and affordability
- conservation and heritage buildings
- urban design and public realm
- tall buildings and density debates
- sustainable and low-carbon architecture
- placemaking and neighbourhood regeneration
- planning law and local authority process
- community engagement in development
- transport-led development and infrastructure
- adaptive reuse of existing buildings
- design review and quality standards
