Learning from the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm

The GLA has asked Social Life to evaluate the work of the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm.

The Commision was set up in 2020. Its role has been to enrich and add to the current public realm and advise on better ways to raise public understanding behind existing statues, street names, building names and memorials. It is committed to building an accessible programme which is sensitive to the beliefs, views and opinions of all Londoners, helping people have a better understanding of London’s diverse histories.
