2.0 Regeneration
This section details the various regeneration projects,
programmes and initiatives that are being prepared and
implemented in the Leaside area, to provide the
regeneration context for the redevelopment of the
Poplar Baths site.
2.1 Leaside framework and vision [EDAW 2001]
This study provides a strategic
vision for Leaside as a thriving
and prosperous network of
communities, integrated with
the surrounding renaissance in
East London's economy, and sets
out an integrated social,
economic and environmental
framework for the development
of the area over the next 10-15
years.
The study details five key dimensions for developing
the regeneration framework, namely: community and
housing; the local economy; education and training;
transport; and the environment.
The land use framework identifies a number of
development nodes and opportunity sites (see figure 2)
which includes the Poplar Baths site. The baths fall
within an area designated as a mixed use regeneration
node which is intended to act as catalysts for
regeneration throughout Leaside and uses proposed
for the site include employment, leisure and residential
(mixed tenure).
