The Mayor's Design Advisory Group, comprised of experts from heritage, architecture, housing and design bodies, has been relaunched to play a significant role in shaping future developments which fall under the Mayor's responsibility through his regeneration, planning, housing and land powers.
Experts including architect Sir Terry Farrell, Tate Modern Council member Stephen Witherford and Peter Murray, chairman of New London Architecture, will advise on ensuring housing and design standards and the development of London's public realm, while advising the Mayor on how to secure the best results on new developments through procurement.
The group will focus on schemes led by the Greater London Authority and Transport for London, in particular it will be asked to comment on major investment programmes driven by funding from the Mayor's Regeneration Fund and the Outer London Fund.
