Urban regeneration is defined as ‘a comprehensive and integrated vision and action which leads to the resolution of urban problems and which seeks to bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social and environmental condition
change’.

12
A strategic approach to regeneration will ensure Tower Hamlets embraces its role as a key focus for London’s growth, making the best use of the economic benefits provided by a thriving enterprise sector and improving connections between the borough and surrounding areas. The benefits will be shared throughout our borough, amongst all residents, ensuring no one is left behind and everyone has access to the economic
communities as well as welcome new residents to make their home within liveable, mixed, stable and cohesive neighbourhoods. We will work hard to ensure our neighbourhoods are transformed with high quality buildings and well-designed spaces, while ensuring their distinct character is protected and enhanced. They will contain a mix of housing types, served by a range of excellent facilities and infrastructure. They will be green, safe and accessible to all, promoting sustainable transport and making the best use of both our borough’s heritage and natural resources such as parks and waterways.

Place-based approach is taken to development in line with the vision in the new Local Plan
