Greenwich Peninsula, formerly Europe’s largest town gasworks, is the

single largest brownfield development site in London and of major
strategic importance.

We provided the complete spectrum of specialist consultancy beginning
with assessment and remediation of ground contamination. We have
also been prime consultants with responsibility for procurement and
project management, including design and implementation of new
infrastructure, landscaping and riverside reconstruction across the whole
120 hectare site.

Parks have been designed to create a natural forested area where
buildings and urban space appear to be carved out of their setting.
Two central elements of the Southern Park are an ecology park, created
around two lakes and the village green at the heart of the proposed
Millennium Village.

Masterplanning fuses the disciplines of architecture, landscape
architecture, urban design and planning to develop visions for
successful places, most commonly in the form of design frameworks.
It is about the process as well as the product of placemaking. How
a vision is developed and subsequently delivered is critical to the
successful creation of attractive and sustainable cities, towns and
villages, and fundamental to their realisation.
