At London Legacy Development Corporation
Level 10, 1 Stratford Place, Montfichet Road, Stratford E20 1EJ

Who is Legacy for locally?
An obvious answer is: local residents of the Growth Boroughs (formerly Olympic Boroughs). However, that is a population of over 1.5m and it is a population which keeps changing. So it is important to keep track of population change and changing attitudes and aspirations to connect Legacy development to the ‘real’ place.
This seminar will examine who local communities are to put Legacy into the context of the local residents. Drawing on recent research, e.g. Newham’s latest household panel survey, and policy thinking, the speakers will consider evidence of what local residents want for themselves, what they think about the local area and how it is changing.
