NLA High street champion

Last month, Fiona Scott spoke to Peter Murray, Curator-in-Chief of New London Architecture. They discussed Gort Scott’s High Streets Adaptive Strategies report and the concept of the 15-minute city.

Fiona Scott said: ‘One of the most attractive elements of the 15 minute city is localised economic ecosystems, addressing the huge wealth inequality in London. How do we retain the value that is built in a local area? There has been a genuine shift in mindset to thinking more locally but, at the same time, Amazon and online shopping is going through the roof. We need to find a way for the local and the global to co-exist mutually.’
