ROYAL DOCKS: UNLOCKED 2037 ECONOMIC VISION
The Greater London Authority (GLA), the London Borough of Newham and Transport for London (TfL) jointly commissioned an Economic Vision for the Royal Docks.
The vision demonstrates that the former docklands are integral to delivering key social and economic priorities both for Newham and London.
-
For Newham, it will significantly boost local income and employment levels, and stimulate a base for high-skilled job opportunities.
-
For London, the Royal Docks will cement London’s position as the prime global city for business, employment, education and visitors.
-
For London's global status, the Royal Docks will showcase London's place as a global leader in innovation, providing a unique historical and cultural setting and promote inward investment.
It is envisaged that by 2037, the Royal Docks will be successful in delivering:
-
20,000 homes
-
40,000 jobs
-
61,000 residents
-
£5.2 billion gross development value
-
13 miles of river and dock waterfront
TOWARDS A BETTER NEWHAM COVID-19 RECOVERY STRATEGY
