The City of London has launched a competition to find a “modern, multifunctional” design solution to replace traditional Police Boxes.
Police Boxes have been a staple part of the capital’s urban architecture since the 1930s. At their most popular, there were some 685 on the streets of Greater London.
However, technological advancements and cultural changes have served to render the boxes largely obsolete in the 21
st Century.
The competition, run in connection with the City of London Police, New London Architecture (NLA) and Bloomberg Associates, seeks to turn the boxes into Digital Service Points. Following the competition process, the winning team will be revealed in late May 2021 after which the process of raising the funding for the delivery of the selected design scheme will begin.
