Executive Summary Clean Air Villages is a Defra Air Quality Grant funded project. Clean Air Villages 2 (CAV2) built on the work undertaken through the Defra-funded 2017/18 Clean Air Villages (CAV1) project which aimed to reduce emissions in hotspots of poor air quality across five London boroughs. The CAV2 project has enabled further widespread and sustained action to reduce emissions resulting from the delivery of goods and services to businesses in 13 of London’s most polluted town centres (‘villages’). The project was delivered by Cross River Partnership (CRP) from April 2019 to April 2020 on behalf of project lead London Borough of Lewisham and partners London Boroughs of Camden, Hammersmith &Fulham, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea as well as business improvement district Euston Town, and the landowner Cadogan Estates. Figure 1. Map of Clean Air Villages 2019-20. Through an extensive business engagement exercise, 12 local air quality workshops were held, 90 businesses engaged with in-depth, over 120 completed surveys and over 750 businesses engaged with via walk-ins, event presentations, phone calls and emails. Based on the findings from this engagement and further survey work, 13 local solutions were developed to help businesses reduce emissions from deliveries and servicing trips, one for each village. The tailored solutions range from a shared electric van to locally tailored cargo bike schemes. Table 1. Potential annual emissions savings from the Clean Air Villages 2 project in 2020/21.

  • The Curation of the Street Food Scene in London
    The London School of Economics and Political Science The Curation of the Street Food Scene in London Paz Concha A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2017. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 89223 words. I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Alexandra Albert. 2 Abstract This research is an ethnography about the curation of the street food scene in London that looks at processes of cultural calculation to make markets and to assemble marketplaces. The main research question that is guiding this thesis is how is the street food scene in London being curated? This inquiry follows previous research in cultural economies in different scenes of cultural production like advertising, fashion or music (Du Gay and Pryke, 2002; Slater, 2002a; Entwistle, 2006, 2009; McFall, 2002, 2009, 2013; Ariztía, 2015; Negus, 2002; Law, 2002; McRobbie, 2016; Arriagada, 2014; Arriagada and Cruz, 2014).

  • June 6-8, 2019 London, Uk CONFERENCE INTERNATIONAL
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE london, uk JunE 6-8, 2019 WELCOME As we prepared for the 9th International Public Markets Conference four years ago, Project for Public Spaces decided to frame the event around one big question: What if we challenged each of our communities to become a “market city” – a community with a robust network of markets and a citywide strategy to support them, like the host city of Barcelona itself? This year, for the 10th edition of this conference, I am excited to announce the launch of a Market Cities Initiative here at Project for Public Spaces, which Phil Myrick will build upon our decades of planning, research, education, and advocacy CEO for public markets. This initiative will help cities around the world scale up Project for the impact of their market systems through regional strategy, policy, and Public Spaces governance. We could not ask for a better place in which to announce this initiative than London, a city of nearly 300 markets, some with 1,000 years of history; a city that today, under the leadership of the Mayor of London, is pursuing bold new research and governance efforts to support their many markets. So welcome, market champions, to one of the world’s great market cities! I’m delighted to co-host the 10th International Public Markets Conference with Project for Public Spaces, at a time when London’s markets are booming. There are now almost 300 street and covered markets in the city offering an astonishing range of goods. This event shines a spotlight on the sheer breadth of what our markets offer.
