MEMBERS' DECLARATIONS UNDER THE CODE OF CONDUCT IN RESPECT OF ITEMS ON THE AGENDA Alderman Prem Goyal declared a personal interest in Items 7 and 8 by virtue of holding a tenancy in the Ward of Farringdon Within. 3. MINUTES The public minutes and summary of the meeting held on 29 January 2019 were considered. MATTERS ARISING Members’ Declarations under the Code of Conduct in Respect of Items on the Agenda (page 2) – Susan Pearson asked that the minutes of the last meeting be amended to read that she had “declared that the Standards Committee considered that she had a pecuniary interest in Item 10………………”. She added that she had made it clear at the last meeting that she did not consider that she had a pecuniary interest in a tree. The Town Clerk undertook to amend the minute accordingly. Dockless Bikes (page 2) – The Chairman informed the Committee that he, together with a number of other Members and Senior Officers, had met with Freebike – a dockless e-bike hire operator. Freebike had proposed a service that has the potential to provide well-managed dockless cycle hire that is suitable for the City context. Members were informed that Officers were now developing options for a trial to allow operators meeting the necessary requirements to place bikes within the Square Mile. A report seeking approval for the trial would be put to the Committee at its 18 March meeting. The Chairman explained that, subject to approval, the trial was expected to begin in May 2019. The trial would allow operators to place a limited number of bikes at appropriate locations within the Square Mile. Customers would also be required to leave bikes at these locations. This would allow the City Corporation to test the effectiveness of additional controls that are likely to become available should a London-wide byelaw be adopted. The results of the trial would be used to inform the City Corporation’s long-term approach to dockless cycle hire and the application of any proposed byelaw within the Square Mile. Planning Appeal Decisions (page 13) – A Member referred to a recent High Court case won by Westminster regarding telephone kiosks where a judge had ruled that such structures served a 'dual purpose' of both communications and advertising and therefore should not benefit from permitted development rights. The Member praised the efforts of Westminster on this matter and expressed disappointment that the City had not taken similar action. He went on to state that he hoped that this would, however, set a precedent from which the City could benefit going forward. The Comptroller and City Solicitor clarified that the City had also raised this matter in previous appeals and were aware that Westminster were progressing this and so had awaited the outcome on the issue rather than duplicate efforts. The Committee were informed that the City currently had a number of cases Page 2 progressing at present and that further representations referring to this recent judgement had now been made. A Member made a plea to Officers to ensure that existing telephone kiosks within the City were operational and that, if this were not the case, they were removed. She went on to refer to the fact that kiosks that were not operational were frequently used for other purposes. Committee Tour of the Bloomberg Building (page 18) – A Member wished to thank Officers for the recent, superb, Committee Tour of the Bloomberg Building. The Chairman reported that a second visit had been organised for 20 February for those who had been unable to make the first. Questions on Matters Relating to the Work of the Committee (page 19) – A Member questioned progress around works to the Thames Court Footbridge as he had been informed that these were to be the subject of further delays. He stressed the need to have the footbridge open to the public again as soon as possible.

David Chippendale had been involved in the LOPR since its inception, and has played a major part in laying sound foundations for what is now seen as the authoritative review of London office policy. David was a leading personality of the property research industry and will be hugely missed by many friends and colleagues. We dedicate LOPR 12 to David’s memory. Acknowledgements Ramidus Consulting Limited was appointed in February 2012 to undertake LOPR 12. The team comprised Rob Harris, David Chippendale, Ian Cundell and Sandra Jones. We have worked very closely with Dave Lawrence and Adala Leeson of Roger Tym & Partners, who have provided invaluable input to the forecasting and policy analysis.

Official reports insist that the ‘Tube Map’s’ iconic status is due to its exemplary design principles or its utility for journey planning underground. This paper, however, presents results that suggest a different role for the familiar image: one of an essential visual technology that stands as an interface between the city and its user, presenting and structuring the points of access and possibilities for interaction within the urban space. The analysis explores the public understanding of an inscription in the world beyond the laboratory bench, the indexicality of the immutable mobile’s visual language, and the relationship between representing and intervening.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Iain Sinclair’s London is a labyrinthine city split by multiple forces deliriously replicated in the complexity and contradiction of his own hybrid texts. Sinclair played an integral role in the ‘psychogeographical turn’ of the 1990s, imaginatively mapping the secret histories and occulted alignments of urban space in a series of works that drift between the subject of topography and the topic of subjectivity. In the wake of Sinclair’s continued association with the spatial and textual practices from which such speculative theses derive, the trajectory of this variant psychogeography appears to swerve away from the revolutionary impulses of its initial formation within the radical milieu of the Lettrist International and Situationist International in 1950s Paris towards a more literary phenomenon. From this perspective, the return of psychogeography has been equated with a loss of political ambition within fin de millennium literature.

  • 'Ungovernable'? Financialisation and the Governance Of
    Governing the ‘ungovernable’? Financialisation and the governance of transport infrastructure in the London ‘global city-region’ February 2018 Peter O’Briena* Andy Pikea and John Tomaneyb aCentre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS), Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK NE1 7RU. Email: peter.o’[email protected]; [email protected] bBartlett School of Planning, University College London, Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, 620 Central House, 14 Upper Woburn Place, London, UK WC1H 0NN. Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author 1 Abstract The governance of infrastructure funding and financing at the city-region scale is a critical aspect of the continued search for mechanisms to channel investment into the urban landscape. In the context of the global financial crisis, austerity and uneven growth, national, sub-national and local state actors are being compelled to adopt the increasingly speculative activities of urban entrepreneurialism to attract new capital, develop ‘innovative’ financial instruments and models, and establish new or reform existing institutional arrangements for urban infrastructure governance. Amidst concerns about the claimed ‘ungovernability’ of ‘global’ cities and city-regions, governing urban infrastructure funding and financing has become an acute issue. Infrastructure renewal and development are interpreted as integral to urban growth, especially to underpin the size and scale of large cities and their significant contributions within national economies. Yet, oovercoming fragmented local jurisdictions to improve the governance and economic, social and environmental development of major metropolitan areas remains a challenge. The complex, and sometimes conflicting and contested inter-relationships at stake raise important questions about the role of the state in wrestling with entrepreneurial and managerialist governance imperatives.

  • Life and Death of the People of London: a Historical GIS of Charles

An important innovation of his Inquiry was the construction of large, detailed maps displaying social class of inner London on a street-by-street basis. These provide a detailed and vivid picture of the geography of poverty and affluence at this time. These maps have been digitised, georeferenced and linked to contemporary ward boundaries allowing Booth’s measurement of social class to be matched to the measurement of social class in the 1991 census of population and standardised mortality ratios derived for all causes of death in the survey area between 1991 and 1995. The social class data were used to derive an index of relative poverty for both time periods and a comparison of the geographies of relative poverty and their relationship with contemporary mortality was made.

On each side would run eight lines of railway. In the centre would be a promenade flanked by fashionable shops, librar- ies, and town houses (Figure 1). It was to loop between the City of London and the West End, linking all six of the capital’s railway ter- mini, and connecting the pleasure districts at Kensington, Vauxhall Gardens, Regent’s Park and Knightsbridge, to the commercial alleyways of Cheapside and Capel Court.2 It was to be nearly thirteen miles long, and projected to cost £34 million, a colossal sum. One commentator de- scribed the scheme as “daring” and “startling”; this does scant justice to １ The standard texts on Paxton are Violet Markham, Paxton and the Bachelor Duke, (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1935) and George Chadwick, The Works of Sir Joseph Pax- ton, (London: Architectural Press, 1961).

  • The Alien in Greenwich. Iain Sinclair & the Millennium Dome
    The Alien in Greenwich. Iain Sinclair & the Millennium Dome by Nicoletta Vallorani THE DOME THAT FELL ON EARTH For Iain Sinclair, London is a life project. It tends to take the same ideal shape of the city he tries to tell us about: a provisional landscape (Sinclair 2002: 44), multilevel and dynamically unstable, invaded by memories, projects, plans and virtual imaginations, walked through and re-moulded by the walker, finally fading away at its endlessly redrawn margins. One gets lost, and in doing so, he learns something more about the place he inhabits1: I’m in mid-stride, mid-monologue, when a deranged man (French) grabs me by the sleeve […] There’s something wrong with the landscape. Nothing fits. His compass has gone haywire. ‘Is this London?’ he demands, very politely. Up close, he’s excited rather than mad. Not a runaway. It’s just that he’s been working a route through undifferentiated suburbs for hours, without reward. None of the landmarks – Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrod’s, the Virgin Megastore – that would confirm, or justify, his sense of the metropolis. But his question is a brute. ‘Is this London?’ Not in my book. London is whatever can be reached in a one-hour walk. The rest is fictional. […] ‘Four miles’ I reply. At a venture. ‘London.’ A reckless improvisation. ‘Straight on. Keep going. Find a bridge and cross it.’ I talk as if translating myself into a language primer (Sinclair & Atkins 1999: 38-43). Here, though conjured up by specific landmarks (Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrod’s, the Virgin Megastore) and a few permanent inscriptions (the river and its bridges), the space of London stands out as a fiction made true by the steps of the walker.

  • Polycentricity and Sustainable Urban Form
    Polycentricity and Sustainable Urban Form An Intra-Urban Study of Accessibility, Employment and Travel Sustainability for the Strategic Planning of the London Region Duncan Alexander Smith Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis & Department of Geography University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Revisions submitted August 2011. 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Duncan Alexander Smith, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Copyright © Duncan Alexander Smith 2011 2 Abstract This research thesis is an empirical investigation of how changing patterns of employment geography are affecting the transportation sustainability of the London region. Contemporary world cities are characterised by high levels of economic specialisation between intra-urban centres, an expanding regional scope, and market-led processes of development. These issues have been given relatively little attention in sustainable travel research, yet are increasingly defining urban structures, and need to be much better understood if improvements to urban transport sustainability are to be achieved. London has been argued to be the core of a polycentric urban region, and currently there is mixed evidence on the various sustainability and efficiency merits of more decentralised urban forms. The focus of this research is to develop analytical tools to investigate the links between urban economic geography and transportation sustainability; and apply these tools to the case study of the London region. An innovative methodology for the detailed spatial analysis of urban form, employment geography and transport sustainability is developed for this research, with a series of new application of GIS and spatial data to urban studies.
