Research Seminar

Maximising Crossrail: The experience so far Lisa Taylor Director, Future of London

Jennifer Johnson Programme and Research Lead, Future of London

Future of London is: • Membership-driven, not-for-profit urban policy network • Capacity-building for people who deliver London’s built environment • Focus on delivery – the how as much as the why…

• Connecting practitioners at all levels across regeneration, housing, transport, energy and economic development

• Independent, responsive and able to draw on top-tier support • Actively engaged senior board and steering group

Our research project • Research project from December 2013 to April 2014 • Originated from our membership

• Sponsored by Arup, Crossrail, GVA and London Communications Agency • Steering Group includes TfL, GLA, UCL, LB Redbridge, Peabody, and Urban Design London

Project goals • Examine opportunities seized and missed, from Jubilee through Crossrail 2 • Identify key ingredients in successful schemes • Share cross-sector examples and strategies for delivering resilient communities centred on these revitalised hubs

What we’re doing • Guided by a senior steering group • Review of existing literature • Interviews with key stakeholders • Research seminars: Jan 30th and today

• Report contributions on planning (Arup) and property impact (GVA) • Final report: April 23 launch, King’s Fund • Follow-up site visits

What we’re doing Historical context…

• What can we learn from completed lines? … A focus on Crossrail 1 stations …

• Using case study stations/communities to illustrate different strategies, opportunities, challenges

… And looking forward • What lessons can inform future schemes?

The first research seminar Focus: The experience so far Three themes: • Connection: Urban realm and surface transport • Integration: Regeneration and engaging existing communities

• Development: Delivering major new schemes

The first research seminar Framing questions: • What’s been your experience? What would be your desired outcome? How do the two compare so far?

• What approach or process is being employed?

• Who are the key partners in delivering this outcome?

• What barriers exist? How might they be overcome?

The first research seminar Common themes from participant discussion: • the need to align all levels of policy, from local to strategic vision • the need to connect delivery authorities at all levels • the need to better ‘growth-proof’ stations and surroundings

• the lack of public awareness beyond central London stations • the importance of coordinating private-sector investment • the need to mitigate construction impact on business and residents

Purpose of today’s seminar Identify [actionable] opportunities and challenges related to collaboration Guidelines • Chatham House rules (input non-attributable) • Focus on potential solutions as much as problems • Opportunities for follow-up #CrossrailRegen

Major transport schemes

Chapter 6 transport • Crossrail 2 importance as next major infrastructure project: ‘standalone metro’ and ‘regional’ options • High Speed 2: provides framework in London for Growth: • Euston/Old Oak Common Stations, plus HS1-HS2 link

• Updates table of infrastructure commitments • Cycling Policy to support ‘Superhighways’, ‘Quietways’ and the ‘Central London Grid’; development of up to four ‘mini Hollands’ • Parking policy and standards refined to make more sensitive to Outer London (relaxation)

Opportunity / Intensification Areas deliver most of London’s growth

38 LONDON OPPORTUNITY AREAS Supporting delivery of circa. 300,000 homes and 570,000 jobs

38 CROSSRAIL STATIONS - 30 STATIONS IN LONDON (including Old Oak) 18 Crossrail stations in (or adjacent) 14 Opportunity Areas Supporting delivery of 120,000 homes and 320,000 jobs
