The Brick Lane Future

What the Brick Lane redevelopment proposals mean for the community that makes it distinctive

By Cyndi Himmelstiere, Shoreditch.

The Proposals

The Brick Lane redevelopment proposals -- the specific planning applications for the sites along and adjacent to Brick Lane whose development would change the specific character of the street whose Bangladeshi community, vintage clothing market, and street art have made it one of the most visited streets in London -- are the accountability journalism of what happens when development pressure meets specific community identity.

The Community Response

The community response: the Brick Lane community organisations, the Bangladeshi businesses, and the specific advocacy groups that have mobilised around the specific developments have produced the specific planning objections and the specific public campaign that has generated the political attention the proposals require.

The Column

Cyndi Himmelstiere covers the Brick Lane future because the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood requires examining the specific development pressure on the specific street whose character is the most visible expression of what makes the area distinctive.
