This document from VisitBritain provides an indication of how Britain was perceived during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games based on the feedback of VisitBritain’s staff who were monitoring the media and national sentiment in overseas markets. Perceptions of Britain’s creativity, heritage and Culture, arts and music, and diversity seem to have been huge positives for the destination across the board. Weather, food, and transport and security seemed to have remained largely neutral, whereas perceptions of Britain as a value for money destination seem to have suffered somewhat.

In this Town and Country Planning Association ‘Tomorrow Series’ paper, John Walker sets out how SLICs, a type of Strategic Land and Infrastructure Contract, hold the key to unlocking garden cities and suburbs, as well as many other locally planned large developments. This type of contractual arrangement enables timely and predictable provision of essential infrastructure to be committed at an early stage, enhancing both investor and community confidence in the quality and deliverability of new garden cities and suburbs. The paper takes the Association’s Garden Cities campaign a step further, by making an important contribution to the debate about how we deliver sustainable new communities through capturing land value and creating certainty by focusing on de-risking the development process.
