Good Growth
Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.
About the team&nbsp;
Are you looking to join a team that’s all about improving utility infrastructure delivery, partnering with industry and local authorities to push for smarter ways of upgrading London’s infrastructure for the benefit of Londoners? Are you passionate about driving change through delivery of innovative projects and best practice? If so, the Mayor’s Infrastructure Coordination Service (ICS) wants to hear from you.
