Talk:London Docklands

London Dockland Study Team
(Copied over from LDDC talk page)

I have the two volume 'London Dockland Study Team Docklands redevelopment proposals for East London' produced by R Travers Morgan & Partners, produced early 1973 (ie before the impact of joining the then EEC, the Yom Kippur War etc and the consequences variously thereof).

Among other points - a concentration on industry rather than office development, the Channel Tunnel (1970s version) was to pass through; and the possibility of 'a minitram (light railway system)' - presumably a precursor of the DLR.

 * Here is the context behind the report. That, together with the report's brief recommendations and the eventual outcome (you'd need to research a bit more to find that, perhaps also in Hansard) might make an interesting addition to the history section. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the oil price rises consequent on the 1973 Middle East crisis. There would also be the impact of changing government policy towards development etc.
 * Going beyond 'finding the reference materials' might be too much into Original Research for WP purposes. Jackiespeel (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I will add some other titles here so they can be formatted etc - though some are fairly obscure and not easily found on websearches. Jackiespeel (talk) 13:18, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
