Contrasting the urban intensification of Canary Wharf the South Quay Plaza masterplan introduces 3 acres of much needed public greenspace associated with three new residential buildings.
Contrasting the urban intensification of Canary Wharf, South Quay Plaza introduces 3 acres of public greenspace, rescuing a vacant plot that has been closed to the public since the 1996 Docklands bombing. Two thirds of the site are released as car-free public realm, introducing over 320 mature trees to a site with none before development. A flourishing piece of biodiverse parkland is created, revitalising the dockside, repairing the urban fabric and forging new pedestrian connections.
