I visited London Open City Exhibition at Somerset House to learn more about the landscape projects and strategies currently taking place in London. The work displayed looked at efficient and creative ways of using public space. It includes the Mayors 100 new public spaces and the East London Green Grid, which are schemes aiming to create a network of enriched public spaces which have easy access to them- more aimed at the pedestrian than private vehicles so it is more sustainable and will also encourage people to use public transport.

I also visited the Natural Stone Show at the ExCel to learn about different types of stone and what they can be used for for different landscapes. There were many companies from different countries exhibiting at the show including Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, Japan, and China.
