“We can imagine rebuilding society using food as our lens, and urban gardening as the approach” - Carolyn Steel, Sitopia (food utopia).

With a focus on Jubilee Park as a template for the Canary Wharf masterplan, the project is proposing that, if Privately Owned Public Space is to continue to exist, then the landowner should be accommodating for greater use by the wider public, with an opportunity for adaptability, public interaction, growth, and change.
The existing masterplan and its manicured greenery will be replaced with a space that promotes slowness, improving stakeholder health and wellness as local ecosystems. The parks are to become inhabited with flora and food - centred diversity; acting as a catalyst for small local business growth within the business region and working with the client Canary Wharf Group to truly work towards their supposed ‘sustainability’ goals. Addressing the borough’s diverse cultural and ethnic population, the proposal suggests how green spaces can be beneficial to these communities – in the same way that London’s high streets typically are.
