Thames Gateway

CABE worked with local authorities and other organisations delivering regeneration in the Thames Gateway area through a variety of projects.

The Thames Gateway is the UK's largest regeneration area, stretching for 40 miles along the Thames Estuary from the London Docklands to Southend in Essex and Sheerness in Kent.  However, in 2005, the Gateway lacked a clear and coherent vision for the future and studies showed a distinct economic gap between this area and the rest of the South-East of England.

If this area was to support London in becoming a sustainable city as well as holding its position in the global market, then investment in good design had to become a greater priority in the Thames Gateway.
