Join architects Howells and landscape architects Spacehub for a walking tour exploring the relationship between a completed neighbourhood and a future one.

Beginning at London City Island and moving through Canning Town, the tour will examine the successes - and lessons - of a recently built neighbourhood before introducing proposals for the nearby Limmo Peninsula. The design team will discuss emerging plans for the site’s future development, including a new 2-hectare park, and how proposals aim to support a strong sense of belonging for future residents.

Participants are invited to share observations & questions, helping inform the ongoing design process.
