The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is reappointing his cohort of Mayors Design Advocates.
The Mayor of London is seeking independent built environment experts to join the Mayors Design Advocates (MDAs) cohort. MDAs play a crucial role in supporting theGood Growth by Design (GGbD) programme, influencing Mayoral decisions, steering policies and advocating for high-quality, sustainable development across London.
Good Growth is the Mayors guiding principle for the built environment and sets the direction of the London Plan and all related Mayoral decisions, investments, strategies and policies. Good Growth acknowledges that Londoners will not accept growth at any cost. Growth of our built environment must be socially and economically inclusive, physically accessible and environmentally sustainable.
The programme draws together and promotes efforts being made across the Greater London Authority Group to support quality and inclusion in the built environment. With the support of the Mayors Design Advocates, it has had major successes: setting standards for excellence, extending the practice of design review, and supporting cross-industry action to make the built environment sector more diverse and representative. This programme is calling upon the architecture, design, planning, built environment and sustainability sectors to support Good Growth in London.
London's diversity is its biggest asset and the Mayor strives to reflect London's diversity in all board appointments. The aim is that the Mayors Design Advocates reflect Londons diversity so we welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.
