Two JTP projects featured in NLA exhibition 'London's Towns: Shaping the Polycentric City'

Published on 14 November 2017

Two of JTP’s projects have been selected for NLA’s latest exhibition, London’s Towns: Shaping the Polycentric City.

The exhibition, informed by an Insight Study into the future of London’s outer boroughs, features case studies for good growth, paving the way for more sustainable, genuinely mixed-use places to strengthen London’s reputation as a truly polycentric city.

Southall Waterside, Ealing, and The Old Post Office, Kingston, were both selected for the Insight Study and subsequent exhibition as exemplar case studies for the densification of London’s suburbs to create vibrant, liveable new places that work for the new and existing communities, as well as the wider surrounding areas.

Southall Waterside, previously home to the former Southall gasworks until 1973, is now being transformed from a vacant brownfield site to a dynamic new village for west London. The new quarter will comprise 3,750 high-quality new homes, community buildings including a primary school, health centre and an extensive mix of retail and leisure facilities. The regeneration will embrace social, economic and environmental sustainability, from its commitment to deliver green and open spaces, to working with the local community to support training and employment.

The Old Post Office site offers a unique opportunity to kick start the renaissance of Kingston’s Eden Quarter, further enhancing Kingston as a successful town centre and bringing back into use two ‘at risk’ Grade II Listed buildings. JTP’s proposals will create a new urban quarter for Kingston, delivering new homes, shops, restaurants, offices and community space, with over half an acre of landscaped public realm.

The London’s Towns exhibition is open to the public until Friday 11 January at NLA, The Building Centre, 26 Store Street, WC1E 7BT.
