What’s happening in the Old Kent Road?
The Old Kent Road was designated by the Mayor in 2016 as an Opportunity Area.
It is the subject of two videos by Urban Design Learning which provides support to local authorities on design and examines development schemes.
In one video, Colin Wilson introduces Southwark Council’s Old Kent Road Action Plan. In another video he explains the issues in regeneration of an area with existing clusters of small businesses, some thriving, and the council’s ambition to add employment as well as housing.
