Placemaking

Crossharbour District Centre will be a valuable part of Tower Hamlets and London with social, economic and cultural impacts.

Our proposals for the District Centre will deliver against 5 themes derived from priority policies and initiatives of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the Greater London Authority.

Placing a clear set of commitments against each of the 5 themes will ensure the District Centre makes a substantial contribution to a broad range of social impacts within Tower Hamlets.
