LONDON EAST

The design life of
the existing Thames Barrier
ends in c.2030
LONDON EAST

a new Estuary Barrier is
needed to save London
from devastation by flooding
exacerbated
by climate change
LONDON EAST

there is then an opportunity
for LONDON EAST
to complete the picture
and become :
LONDON EAST

Ebbsfleet Garden City planned
LONDON EAST
new river crossings
are, therefore, urgently needed

LONDON EAST

globally networked
we speak c. 200 languages

we are the world in one place

LONDON EAST

is also rich in green energy

tidal & wave
wind & solar
air, ground & water source
waste, biofuel & gas
LONDON EAST

all of this human & green energy
can be harnessed for good :
a strategy is needed
LONDON EAST

can then become a
POWER HOUSE
on the world stage

LONDON EAST

Sir Terry Farrells blue & green
Parklands Study sets a context.

A major

economic driver is needed

green energy river crossings
could be the catalyst

LONDON EAST

The River Thames divides

now it can unite & empower

LONDON EAST

River crossings are urgently needed

there are 27 in LONDON WEST

LONDON EAST has 1

LONDON EAST

A new type of river crossing
is proposed :
urban & inhabited
Green energy foating bridges

LONDON EAST

They would be low bridges
with central openings
and side navigation

LONDON EAST

Each bridge could be inhabited

uses could include :

residential

hotels

leisure & marinas
commercial

health

care
laboratories

LONDON EAST

an early sketch follows by
Peter Kent

for an inhabited bridge

at Gallions Reach

LONDON EAST
LONDON EAST

Each inhabited

floating bridge
could become

an energy POWER

HOUSE

as part of one total strategy

LONDON EAST

A Thames Tideway tunnel
is to be built to
Abbey Mills & Beckton

as a conduit
that could be extended

Beckton
Sewage works
Abbey Mills
LONDON EAST

Resulting in an energy, transport

services & communications
SPINE

from central London
to the estuary

Beckton
Sewage works
LONDON EAST

An estuary airport
with a barrier & river crossing
are being considered

LONDON EAST

We are proposing

8 other bridge locations

built incrementally

LONDON EAST

4 could unite :
Gravesham + Tilbury

Ebbsfleet + Tilbury

Purfleet + Dartford

Rainham + Erith

LONDON EAST

4 others could unite :
Barking + Thamesmead
John Harrison Way + West Silvertown

Canary Wharf + the Greenwich Peninsula

Deptford + the Greenwich Peninsula

Other locations are possible
LONDON EAST

The 1st green energy inhabited

floating bridge could unite the
North & South Circulars at

GALLIONS REACH
LONDON EAST

Each inhabited bridge
would thereby unite communities
both sides of the river by

road, rail, DLR, bicycle & foot


solar &
pv cells
residential
hospital
cinemas
restaurants
landscaping
water
energy
hotel
green energy
labs
cycling
pedestrians
tidal
turbines
river transport hub
opening bridges
education
LONDON EAST

Each bridge component

could be fabricated off site

and floated into place

LONDON EAST

Would have an iconic destination
that could be built in stages

LONDON EAST

Each green inhabited bridge
could be part of a network
for other creatures
LONDON EAST

River based transport

could link each bridge

as a HUB as part of one London

UK & continental system

LONDON EAST

Each bridge would be a
Powerhouse

harnessing & distributing energy

tidal, wave, wind & solar

air, ground & water source

waste, bio-fuel & gas

LONDON EAST

New developments could
access this system
existing schemes could be
retro-fitted leading to a new
green energy based economy
LONDON EAST

The resultant skills & capabilities

could then be exported

to a global market place

as a major employment generator

LONDON EAST

This strategy could be led by

the private sector and

facilitated by the public sector

with voluntary sector engagement

LONDON EAST

A team has been assembled
to facilitate delivery
that includes :

LONDON EAST

Academic reseach :


Greenwich Maritime Institute

China Maritime Centre
Architectural Association

LONDON EAST

Technical research :

Siemens
Tecnalia
TATA steel
TATA energy

LONDON EAST

advises on property & funding
Molyneux Investments
advises on economic regeneration
Berntsen Consultants

LONDON EAST

When we demonstrate viability
an even bigger prospect
then becomes possible

LONDON EAST

Streams connect to rivers
rivers connect to estuaries
estuaries connect to seas

LONDON EAST

Using waterways
a national, continental and global
infastructure becomes possible


LONDON EAST

My good friend Reg Ward imagined
London East as a Water City
we could make it happen

LONDON EAST

A blue and green world of
garden & water cities
could emerge

LONDON

EAST

could be our contribution
