An Urban Room for Kingston 

The borough of Kingston upon Thames is facing unprecedented development pressures; the Mayor of London’s housing targets, Cross Rail 2 etc. And yet there is nowhere that is presenting individual development proposals for Kingston or a strategic overview, and communicating them to the public. Given that so much change is happening to the built environment in Kingston, a neutral forum where the community can engage with development proposals, and developers can communicate and consult about their plans, seems desperately needed.

This is the role of an Urban Room; to provide a space where proposals can be discussed, ideas generated and plans developed. A model, virtual or actual, could help to give context and highlight possible linkages. Individual planning applications could be shown, with separate displays for large scale developments. It could also provide a rich educational resource for local schools and colleges.
