Poplar, Tower Hamlets

Executive summary from entrant:

Chrisp Street, at the heart of Poplar, serves one of the youngest, most diverse boroughs in the country. As the sole District Centre across four wards, it supports over 100,000 people, yet faces pressures from declining footfall, a poor pedestrian environment and stalled redevelopment; leaving derelict sites and disappointment. For many, Chrisp Street is not just a market but a community focus and livelihood. JTP with AND London, was appointed by Telford Living to engage residents and stakeholders, build trust and co-create a sustainable, mixed-use vision that responds to today’s challenges and secures the town centre’s future.
