Urban Development Project
Friday 20th January
we set up our group - Group 1 and selected our project
The London Bridge/Canon Street/ Charing Cross Railway
with the aim to show how a project like the High Line in New York can be funded by creating a new public realm above the railway and new buildings to frame the public realm
We have agreed to work as a democracy, members can put forward their ideas for the group to vote on the best way forward. All group meetings are recorded in our Team Diary and work allocated fairly each week during our catch up. Other communication and ideas are expressed through our sky drive, email and on this blog.
Visit arranged for Saturday 21 Jan. Meet at Charing Cross Station at 2.30pm.
Saturday 21st January
The site visit was a great success. We managed to walk the full length of the line before it got dark. Most of the route is directly accessible and there seems to be real potential for good design here. It could be what London is lacking.
Hundreds of Photos taken (on Skydrive), ideas formulated, SWOT eyesoreits and project name to follow....
