Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, has recently been outlining his views on the provision of balconies for all new build apartments in both the private and social build sector. Boris believes that it is imperative to provide personnal outdoor spaces for all residents no matter how small that space may be.
I'm not so sure. Looking recently at apartment balconies in Docklands, in the east end of London, all I saw was that balconies were being used for storage, mainly for bikes. Few were set up for leisure activities, dining, etc. So is Boris right or are we not advanced enough in the design and provision of furniture and leisure items especially for balconies.
