Over the past 10 years, Renaisi has managed several regeneration programmes throughout the London Borough of Hackney. These have included work on the town centers of Hackney Central, Dalston and Ridley Road Market as well as Broadway Market.
Renaisi has played a strong role in developing a substantial town centre management scheme for Hackney, in order to attract major supermarkets and new retailers into the areas and to develop a clear niche role for both retail centers and markets. Renaisi has worked with the traders, the local residents and the Council to transform Hackney town centers into thriving, valued and sustainable places, and to identify how these town centers could best contribute to the needs of local people.
The outcome of our research resulted in a number of best practice interventions in the areas of economic development and neighbourhood regeneration. Essential to the town centre management scheme were improvements to the public realm to enhance accessibility and the use of public space, including pedestrian priority schemes, safety improvements, and the development of cultural quarters to enhance the visitor economy.
Renaisi has also recently been involved in developing a spatial strategy for the town centers of neighbouring Tower Hamlets click here for more details.
