SILVERTOWN'S INCUBATOR OF IDEAS

by Hugo Santos

Challenging socioeconomic conditions, high flood risk, and excessive noise from the airport, have kept East Silvertown’s residents from fully participating as true, valued Londoners. Silvertown’s Incubator of Ideas generates jobs and supports local entrepreneurs, while providing resilience and refuge from flooding, and shielding from the airport noise. Its strategic location secures the project’s long-term financial and business prospects while keeping it a part of the community, ready to help at a moment’s notice.
