This conference marks the 40th anniversary of the demise of the GLC (Greater London Council) by critically reassessing its role in landscape architecture, urban design, and public policy.
The GLC’s in-house architects, planners, and landscape architects fostered a distinct civic design culture—progressive, socially engaged, and ambitious in its scope. This culture was reflected within the Green Belt policy, the new and existing Metropolitan Parks, the Regional Parks, the GLC proposed new towns, and expanded towns, and of course, the Thames Barrier flood defences. Finally in 1982, late in the GLC history, was the appointment of a Senior Ecologist with an afterlife, post 1986-2000, as the London Ecology Unit.
The GLC’s contribution to the design and management of London’s landscapes—its parks, housing developments, civic spaces, and environmental policies—continues to shape the daily life and character of the capital.
