Euston London
Euston, located in Central London, has been undergoing regeneration aimed at transforming the area into a modern transport and community destination, providing a new piece of city that delivers new homes, creates new jobs and open space. However, the project has faced significant delays and challenges with coordination of the various projects that will enable development. Euston’s pilot is aimed at ‘leveraging temporary uses to demonstrate and bring forward the benefits of inclusive, equitable and regenerative development’.
Celebrate and elevate the culture and heritage of Euston. It concentrated on organising interactive community workshops to preserve local history and heritage, and arts-led enhancement of public spaces in Regents Park Estate.
Reinvigorate Euston’s local economy by focusing on social and circular enterprises. This included organising workshops and enterprise programs to foster entrepreneurship, revitalising the historic Chalton Street Market and establishing a Circular Enterprise Hub.
Enhance the safety and appeal of Euston’s public areas. This included the creation of a Story Trail to link green spaces and narrate local history and the organisation of community festivals to foster engagement.
