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;
The Oxford Street Transformation team was established to deliver on the Mayor’s ambition for Oxford Street as set out in his joint announcement with the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner in September 2024. The team is responsible for delivering the Mayor’s vision to turn Oxford Street into a premier shopping and leisure destination, that reflects its place at the centre of a global city, attracting tourists and locals alike, and generating significant economic activity. A flagship project demonstrating the Mayor’s commitment to high streets and to London's global status, proposals include:
<ul>
<li>Creating a pedestrianised boulevard to unlock the full potential of the street, creating beautiful public space and allowing for activation with a curated offer that promotes an attractive&nbsp;activity and trading offer</li>

<li>Creating an inclusive neighbourhood that welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds, removing barriers to participation and accessibility</li>
