About

The project aims to develop a methodology that provides grounding for creative re-imagining of the Limehouse Cut as a shared local asset. The methodology will address challenges of creatively engaging people in underused and unloved ex-industrial sites, paying special attention to the history and identity of place, its environment and character. This is a project that is entirely rooted in its locality. Its focus will be on how best to develop new networks and connections around the Cut, and on developing tools and methodologies for bringing local people and creative businesses together sharing knowledge and inspiration. Poplar and Limehouse, the neighbourhoods surrounding the Limehouse Cut, have the potential to provide infrastructure and space for London’s creative businesses, especially as prices rise elsewhere. This project will look at how these neighbourhoods can retain existing light industry as regeneration happens, and examine how the creative industries can support this.
