A pioneering child-friendly neighbourhood is being created with the redevelopment of Aberfeldy and Nairn Street Estates in Tower Hamlets. New public spaces focus on building community through sociability, health and play. It will deliver 1,632 affordable and private homes.
New public realm will transform connectivity for this isolated site, a triangular-shaped urban island with the River Lea to the east, the A13 to the south and the A12 to the west/north west. A vehicular underpass will be repurposed as an inviting strategic east-west pedestrian and cycle route with new green spaces, overcoming the severance of the A12.
Intensive community involvement has focused on young people so the public realm can reflect their wants and needs. This includes green, well connected, multi-generational spaces, as well as a new pedestrian community street through the heart of the site, a new neighbourhood square, play street and a key park street that will link five new or regenerated green spaces.
