London's East end
it is Britain's largest port
it is 30km east of central london and can cope with the world's largest container ships
the last of london's original docklands closed in 1981
between 1978 and 1983, over 12,000 jobs were lost
in 1981, the census showed that over 60% of men in the east end of london were unemployed.
the population of the area declined
between 1971 and 1981, the population dropped by 100,000
the London docklands regeneration
brought together key players suck as:
property owners keen to purchase land
architects
construction companies
investors
the process was led as market led regeneration, leaving the private sector to make decisions about the future of the docklands
the leading flagship project was canary wharf, now london's second CBD
now over 100,000 commuters travel there every day
accessiblity and connectedness was key to the regeneration
london city airport, 5km from canary wharf

been replaced by a much younger generation
however it has not completely removed deprivation from the area
