Bristol Harbourside

  • Also a deindustrialised and redeveloped river port used for trade in British Empire but closed down due to containerisation making it harder to navigate up river

  • Uses partnership approach between private and public such as Bristol City council and Lloyds Bank, which is similar to the partnership between GLA and Lendlease 

  • Land use on the waterfront targeted at evening economy

  • Used heritage and architecture as a focus such as converted warehouses and retention of old ships which is similar to London Docks

  • Public Art and reuse of materials such as barrels as bins and boat decking as pathways

  • Galleries, markets and river festivals are community leisure activities that can be incorporated into plan for London Docks

  • Studentification resulting in a youthful population, which is similar to the impact East London university has on the London Docks

  • Private rented riverside flats that reduce affordability of the area
