Award Comments
23 years on from its inception, Greenwich Millennium Village feels like a place that has existed for longer. Parents walk their children to school, deliveries come and go, the cafe and dry cleaner are busy, and it feels like a well-designed place with more than a hint of Scandinavian living. It is hard to believe that this was an industrial landscape where no one lived a mere 25 years ago. The streets work well, a mixture of intimate routes through low-rise housing and busier routes for buses and cars. There are several different areas within the masterplan that
have their own character and are recognisable places.
Regeneration is a complex and difficult process, and not for those who only think in the short-term, but Greenwich Millennium Village illustrates that, when done well, it can be a triumph.
