Canning Town: Co-designed Estate Regeneration in practice

At Newham Council we have embarked on an ambitious estate regeneration at Canning Town that will provide up to 1300 homes. It will bring together the existing community - who we’ve provided pathways to stay within the area and community - with those moving into the area and establish a new tight knit community.

To this end Newham, with the guidance and support of a Jestico + Whiles-led consortium of specialists in masterplanning and architecture, have undertaken years of co-design with the community to create a scheme we believe will bring everyone together and create a neighbourhood residents can be proud of.

Following an introductory presentation by Jestico + Whiles, attendees will be taken on a site visit to the first phase of the masterplan, featuring 147 new Passivhaus affordable homes and a community centre. The tour will then conclude with a talk from our meanwhile operator, Make:good and the opportunity to meet some local residents working with us to shape these plans. We welcome both residents and professionals to attend this event.

Please note that due to the building still being in development, the lifts will be unavailable. The talks will take place on the ground floor of site, as will part of the tour but there will be a section of the tour inaccessible to those unable to use the stairs.
