Project description
Ingredients for Growth is a mixed-use masterplan strategy designed to transform Greater London’s common land situated between and adjacent to vast bodies of water, such as reservoirs. This visionary approach involves creating a harmonious blend of new farmland, residential areas, and educational spaces, reimagining and utilising the untapped potential of urban spaces.
The primary objective is to cultivate fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the year, ensuring local communities have access to nutritious, locally sourced food. By doing so, the project aims to enhance the community’s resilience in combating food insecurity and poverty.
This masterplan prototype is situated in the vibrant area of Blackhorse Lane in Waltham Forest. However, the broader vision looks to empower communities with knowledge and resources to cultivate their own healthy food.
