Royal Docks Delivery Plan
Picturing the future Royal Docks neighbourhoods and building upon our placemaking work for London’s only Enterprise Zone.
More info
The Royal Docks is one of the UK’s largest regeneration opportunities, at the centre of an expanding east London region. Once the UK’s gateway to world trade, today the Royal Docks is re-emerging as a distinctive new urban quarter, with approximately £5 billion worth of investment planned over the next twenty years.
DK-CM have been working with the Royal Docks team on placemaking projects, design guidance and research since 2021, and in 2024 provided the keynote images to illustrate each of the ‘Royal Docks neighbourhoods’ within the Royal Docks team’s Delivery Plan 2024-2029.
