A CATALOGUE OF PLANNING DISASTERS IN SPITALFIELDS

Spitalfields Trust

Planning & Heritage Expert, Alec Forshaw examines the appalling history of bad planning decisions in Spitalfields.

In recent years, Spitalfields has faced a wave of soulless corporate development spreading from the City of London, inflicting ugly steel and glass blocks that are entirely at odds with the narrow streets of old brick buildings. First it was the Spitalfields Market, then the Fruit &amp; Wool Exchange and Norton Folgate, and now the wave has reached the historic Truman Brewery.In this humorous illustrated lecture, Alec Forshaw shows how the same mistakes have been repeated over and over in Spitalfields, exploring what can be done to prevent this onslaught in future and discussing how more responsible planning could benefit the area and the community. (The picture above shows the proposed Old Truman Brewery development of an ugly shopping mall with four floors of corporate offices on top.)VISIT <a href="http://www.battleforbricklane.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WWW.BATTLEFORBRICKLANE.COM </a>
