Developing London′s Docklands: Another Great Planning Disaster?

by Sue Brownill

London′s Docklands has been described as the largest redevelopment area in Western Europe. This book tells the story of that redevelopment and by doing so examines a number of critical issues concerning the regeneration of urban areas. The author′s detailed account of the LDDC era focuses on the main features of market-led regeneration; the encouragement of private investment through planning, transport and land policies as well as substantial public investment; the record on housing and employment; the impact on the local community; the response of local organizations and councils and the alternatives proposed.
