LONDON EAST

a green energy

POWER HOUSE


3/61

LONDON EAST

there are 60 slides

the climax is a

proposal for

GALLIONS REACH:

images follow


4/61


5/61


6/61

LONDON EASTthe premise for

the strategy outlined is:


7/61

LONDON EASTa new estuary airport

a new Thames Barrier

a new estuary crossing


8/61

LONDON EASTthe design life of

the existing Thames Barrier

ends in 2030


9/61

LONDON EAST

the new estuary barrier is

needed to save London

from devastation by flooding

exacerbated by climate

change


10/61

LONDON EAST

there is then an opportunity

for LONDON EAST

to complete the picture

and become :


11/61

LONDON EAST

there is more yet to come

The London Gateway Container Port : being built

An international estuary airport : being considered

A new estuary Flood Barrier : urgently needed

A new river crossing : urgently needed

A mega sewer : funded

Crossrail : being built


27/61

LONDON EAST

is rich in human energy

our peoples speak c. 200languages & are

globally networked:the world in one place


28/61

LONDON EAST

is also rich in natural energy

tidal & wave wind & solar

air, ground & water source

waste, biofuel & gas


29/61

LONDON EAST

all of these energies

can be harnessed for good:

a strategy is needed


30/61

LONDON EAST

can then become a

POWER HOUSEon the world stage :

How?


31/61

LONDON EAST

Sir Terry Farrells blue & green

Parklands Study set a context

a major economic driver is needed

the new airport can be the catalyst


32/61

LONDON EAST

the key is the tidal power of

the River Thames

at present the river divides

it must unite & empower


33/61

LONDON EAST

river crossings as bridges

are fundamental

there are 27 in LONDON WEST

LONDON EAST has 1


34/61

LONDON EAST

the London Gateway Port

will cause the Thames to become

an urban river

crossings effectively at gradethen become possible


35/61

LONDON EAST

those low bridges could have

central openings + side navigation


36/61

LONDON EAST

each bridge could be inhabited

uses could include :

Residential

Hotel

Leisure & marinas

Commerce

Health Care


37/61

LONDON EAST

a early sketch by Peter Kent

follows

for an inhabited bridge

from Beckton to Thamesmead


38/61

LONDON EAST


39/61

LONDON EAST

each inhabited bridge

could become

an energy POWER HOUSE

How?


40/61

LONDON EAST

a mega sewer

is proposed for London

climaxing in Beckton

it could be extended


41/61

LONDON EAST

that sewer could then become

an energy and communications

SPINE

from within Londonto the estuary


42/61

LONDON EAST

9 inhabited bridges

could then be added in stages

one could be integral with

the estuary airport & barrier


43/61

LONDON EAST

8 other locations are proposed

4 could unite :

Gravesham + Tilbury

Ebbsfleet + Tilbury

Purfleet + Dartford

Rainham + Erith


44/61

LONDON EAST

4 others could unite :

Barking + Thamesmead

John Harrison Way + West SilvertownCanary Wharf + the Greenwich Peninsula

Deptford + the Greenwich Peninsula

Other locations are possible


45/61

LONDON EAST

the first inhabited bridge

could be between

Barking & Thamesmead at

GALLIONS REACH


46/61

LONDON EAST

an inhabited bridge at

GALLIONS REACH

could unite

the North & South Circulars


47/61

LONDON EASTwithin it could be tidal turbines,

leisure, laboratories, hotels, green

energy generators & residential

as a hill crossing the river:

some images follow


48/61


49/61


50/61

LONDON EAST


would unite communities

both sides of the river by :

road, rail, DLR, bicycle & foot


51/61

LONDON EAST

each inhabited bridge could also

be part of a network for

nature & hence other creatures


52/61

LONDON EAST

as an energy/communications

spine could be accessed from each

inhabited bridge,

enabling local power houses


53/61

LONDON EAST

one total system then emerges

harnessing & transferring energy :

tidal & wave

wind & solar

air, ground & water source

waste, bio-fuel & gas


54/61

LONDON EAST

the outcome would be a form of

human & green energy machine

that could benefit communities

in a whole urban region


55/61

LONDON EAST

the resultant skills & capabilities

can then be exported

in to a global market place

of similar situations

as a major employment generator


56/61

LONDON EAST

key facilitators :

the Environment Agency

the Port of London Authority

the Mayor of London

riparian councils

business & amenity groups

national government


57/61

LONDON EAST

shared vision, a clear strategy &

a close working relationship

with amenity & other local groups

are fundamental


58/61

LONDON EAST


could, therefore, be :

private sector led,

public sector facilitated &

voluntary sector engaged


59/61

LONDON EAST

as a green & human energy

POWER HOUSE

IS WITHIN REACH


60/61

LONDON EAST

a green energy

POWER HOUSE

next steps :

investment partners +a business case
