Holistic-hearted
Article Abstract:
Christine Seaman, Director of the consultative body Vision for London, aims to promote London, England, as a city for people to live and work in. Regeneration is happening all around London due to the influx of lottery and millenium money and Seaman is keen to avoid the development of a showcase city. One of Seaman's first projects will be to allow Londoners to discuss their local neighbourhoods and plan new roles for local centres. Another will be the examination of the potential for mixed-use developments in areas ripe for regeneration.
