Thames Estuary: The 2050 Vision that will transform the Thames
The Thames Estuary is an area with great potential. It has sizeable economic power, a strong feeling of
collaboration and a ‘can do attitude’ from London right out to the sea. The Estuary has an important brand and status, which makes a significant contribution to the UK economy and UK plc. However, over the past few decades it has consistently been unable to deliver the same levels of economic growth as other parts of the UK. Whilst there are recent success stories, including Canary Wharf and the Thames Estuary’s ports, the benefits of these pockets of growth have not necessarily been felt across the area. This has resulted in a large disparity in wealth and opportunity.
The UK Government commissioned Arup to ensure that this is not an enduring problem. A multi-disciplinary team of city economists, town planners and urban designers developed a long-term vision based on the area’s key challenges and opportunities, alongside future trends.
