Past Awards - Building London Planning Awards
The last couple of years have been some of the most challenging that the development industry has faced, but this has not dampened the commitment to delivering world-class high quality and innovative projects that showcase the talent and creativity in the sector. I’m pleased to see that all the schemes being celebrated through the [Building London Planning] Awards have been designed to meet the needs of Londoners, businesses and our city as a whole, helping us build a greener, fairer and more prosperous city for all
