Who are LTGDC?
LTGDC is the Government’s lead regeneration agency for the
Lower Lea Valley and London Riverside, two areas with the greatest
potential for growth in London and in the Thames Gateway.
Since our creation in 2004, we have made great progress towards
creating vibrant, thriving sustainable communities that are
environmentally responsible, well designed and provided with all
necessary infrastructure.
Our work is focused on eight key locations where the commercial
market has failed to renew communities and create new high quality
environments and where our intervention will make the biggest
difference.
Our projects in these key locations are designed to encourage
other public and private sector organisations to invest in the
area. We aim to secure long lasting benefits for existing and new
communities in east London.
35,000 new homes and 50,000 new jobs will be created in the
Lower Lea Valley with 33,000 new homes and 17,000 new jobs in
London Riverside.
Although our areas face major social and physical challenges,
they benefit both from the unrivalled potential of the waterways of
the River Thames and River Lea and open spaces, together with the
major economic drivers of Canary Wharf, Stratford City and the 2012
Games.
