What is regeneration?

Regeneration is about transformation and revitalisation - both visual and psychological. This transformation can be physical, social and economic, achieved through building new homes or commercial buildings, raising aspirations, improving skills and improving the environment whilst introducing new people and dynamism to an area. Regeneration also seeks to provide the right kind of community facilities at the right time.

Where are all the major developments in Newham?

Growth areas within Newham have the potential to provide over 30,000 new homes and 75,000 new jobs to meet London's housing and employment needs. Many of these sites are along the western edge of Newham from Stratford City in the north, down the Lower Lea Valley, through the Olympic developments, to the extensive plans for redevelopment around Canning Town. They follow new transport links such as the Lower Lea Valley line (planned by Docklands Light Railway), as well as an enhanced Jubilee line and new local roads. There are additional development opportunities along the northern side of the River Thames eastwards through the Royal Docks with a DLR line link to City Airport from Bank and Canning Town. .
