The second episode of Opportunity London’s Invested in London: Partnerships Shaping the City series turns the spotlight to Barking Riverside – one of Europe’s most ambitious brownfield transformations, with the potential to deliver up to 20,000 homes (subject to a new outline planning application).
Journalist Emily Wright sits down with Leigh Johnson, the newly appointed Managing Director of Barking Riverside, and Jace Tyrrell, Chief Executive, Opportunity London, to discuss what it takes to shape a new piece of London at this scale.
From long-term vision and patient capital to the partnerships required to create a place where people want to live, grow and put down roots, this episode explores the possibilities – and responsibilities – of building a new community from the ground up.
