What has been done to achieve sustainability
Socially:
1. New community and leisure facilities (including O)
2. CCTV systems so that people feel safer.
3. Mixing the land use – integrated primary school and health centre, community centre, shops and businesses mixed in with housing, helps to reduce people’s use of energy and time as places are easy to get to.
4. New underground station (Jubilee line) – public transport connection to other parts of London
5. 2.2 km of river walkways
