The Street Scene Challenge plays a key role in fulfilling the
City of London’s commitment to improving the City’s streets and
creating a refined and legible urban environment for the City’s
residents, workers and visitors.
Whilst every scheme is different, in general Street Scene
Initiative schemes are funded by a partnership between the City of
London and an interested party such as a developer, building owner,
or Transport for London. The City of London's contribution will
vary but if the funding is derived from parking income
which must by law be spent on highway improvements.
The City of London is committed to continually improving the
appearance and function of the City’s streets, to provide a high
quality environment that is fitting for the world’s leading
financial and business centre.
