Future Places Studio was commissioned by New London Architecture to co-author a publication that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the London Festival of Architecture. The publication looks back at some of the momentous projects of the last two decades, from masterplans that have contributed to shaping London’s urban landscape, to small neighbourhood interventions that have dramatically improved the lives of local Londoners.

In conversation with some of the pioneering change-makers of today, this publication contemplates what constitutes a successful and democratic public realm today, the role of co-creation and partnerships, and how we can ensure that places are fit-for-purpose in the long-term. A placemakers toolkit based on best practice is included to function as a guide for designing, implementing and managing successful public spaces.
