Our culture and values

Our Vision is that by 2030 London has become a well-planned, climate resilient, nature rich city.  It will be surrounded by a flourishing Green Belt, with a ring of trees and other habitats.  It has an expanding network of green spaces, which are well used by all.  Streets are greener and encourage walking and cycling.  Development includes more affordable, well-designed homes with good facilities nearby, to reduce car dependency and support Londoners to live low carbon, healthy lives.

To turn our vision into reality, we have three strategic goals:

• Protecting London’s green space and Green Belt; and encourage sustainable development.
• Enhancing London’s green spaces, including creating new parks, greening our streets and surrounding the capital with a ring of trees
• Engaging a wide range of people to connect with nature and promote equal access to green space and enhanced wellbeing
