Covering 73 hectares of largely derelict land, the next 15 years will see the creation of a new £4bn metropolitan centre in East London, with more than 100 shops, three big department stores, cafés, schools, hotels, parks and health centres.

There will be a new commercial district with landmark towers and new leisure facilities, all in a quality setting with water features.

New urban districts will house an extra 11,000 residents and 30,000 workers. It will also house most of the 2012 Olympic athletes.

See the London 2012, Newham site for the 2012 Games and Future Stratford website (the latter is no longer maintained and is an historic record of the original application) for more information on regeneration in Stratford and maps; and there is further information at view planning applications online.
