Croydon Vision 2020 is a regeneration programme by the London Borough of Croydon for the centre of Croydon in South London. The original study was carried out in 1999 by EDAW and is being taken forward through the Local Development Framework process. The programme seeks to affect urban planning extensively and promote Croydon as hub of living, retailing, culture and business in South London and South East England. It was highlighted by architect Will Alsop's 'Third City' work.〔(Croydon Conservatives - Full text of the selected story )〕 Private developers have responded to the programme and currently £3.5 billion has been committed to consented and proposed development projects with more in the pipeline. The Council is now working with the Mayor of London on the Croydon Opportunity Area. An Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) has been proposed for the town centre to coordinate this investment. Work is underway on five masterplans underpinning the preparation of this framework: East Croydon, West Croydon, Mid Croydon, Fairfield, and Old Town. There are also a number of public realm improvements planned collectively called 'Connected Croydon'.〔()〕 == East Croydon Masterplan == The East Croydon Masterplan includes the following developments: *Ruskin Square - formerly the Croydon Gateway site, owned by Stanhope, which was due to open in 2010. The Council together with its development partner Arrowcroft had previously proposed an arena-based scheme. The site, alongside East Croydon station, would have included a 12,500 capacity arena, offices, apartments, supermarket, health club, bars and restaurants. This required planning consent and a Compulsory Purchase Order. * Cherry Orchard Road - developer Menta and architect Ken Shuttleworth's Make Practice are proposing a 93,000 m² mixed-use project. Originally designed as a series of crystalline towers, the development has been substantially revised to fit in with the East Croydon Masterplan. The development could also improve access to East Croydon station. The development requires office and residential values to increase substantially and this has been occurring due to what economists call the "multiplier effect"; land has been assembled and the developer is going ahead with enabling developments for the Royal Mail and the meat packing company. *East Croydon Station *Central One The East Croydon Masterplan's adoption as interim planning guidance by Council's Cabinet was due on 21 July 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Croydon Vision 2020」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
