"Boris Johnson has designs on making the capital one of world’s fittest cities." (Then, when he's PM, ...)


Link to Evening Standard

"Boris Johnson today backed proposals for a new 'fit city' design centre to help Londoners get healthier as they move around the capital.

"The organisation would look at ways of improving the design of streets, public spaces and buildings — for example by creating mini-parks, setting up sports facilities or by making cycling more accessible.

"Experts from New York’s Center for Active Design, attending a conference hosted by the Mayor, revealed they would be interested in helping to set up the new office in London.

"The influential body is behind projects such as the 'High Line', the public park and cycle route built on a rail line elevated above the streets on the West Side of Manhattan."
