The GLA has published the findings of an eighteen-month strategic review into the future of the Notting Hill Carnival, which include Intelligent Space Partnership's innovative and award-winning studies of the attendance and crowding at the event.

The Carnival Review Group commissioned ISP in 2001 to undertake the first-ever count of visitors to Carnival and evaluation of crowd density. ISP produced design guidance to inform future route choices and crowd safety policy. In 2002, a follow-up study tracked changes to visitor numbers and crowd behaviour.

Intelligent Space won the prestigious 2002 AGI Award for Innovation for their advanced analysis of crowds at the Carnival. Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, said "I am delighted that Intelligent Space have been given this award for innovation. Their research has been absolutely vital to the review of Notting Hill Carnival."
