Study On The Renovation And Renewal Of Canary Wharf In London

London ’s Docklands was once home to the busiest port in the world.However,many terminals,including Canary Wharf,are no longer able to assume the function of docking and gradually decline,with the large-scale development needs of the shipping industry and the development of a diversified economy.Canary Wharf has a special geographical location.Since 1980,the government has accelerated the pace of renovation and renewal of Canary Wharf.From the London Dock Development Corporation to measures to promote private capital investment,to the improvement of transportation routes,it has led to the development of commerce.After the 1990s,the renewal of the dock area was market-oriented,and a large number of office and commercial areas were constructed.With the opening of the light rail expansion project in the port area and the improvement of subways on important transportation lines,Canary Wharf has become one of the most sought-after commercial investment locations of international companies,showing large-scale infrastructure projects and the world-famous Canada Square.It is the product of that era.In 1999,Canary Wharf Group(Canary Wharf Group)listed,the port area became a commercial center and an important part of London.While the wharf reconstruction solves social problems such as employment and housing,other problems have emerged one after another,such as ignoring the employment,living environment of the original residents,and excessively pursuing the scale and ignoring the coordination of the entire region.Sparrow Wharf exposed hidden dangers such as community isolation and lack of local cultural identity.In the 21st century,developers of Canary Wharf accompanied the ups and downs of the development of the terminal economy.Through a series of design plans such as transportation network,three-dimensional urban environment,landscape remodeling and cultural integration,it has laid a solid foundation for the development of the terminal economy.The foundation further promotes the coordinated development of the financial,tourism and business circles,enhances the economic value and comprehensive spatial value of the region,and forms the Canary Wharf economy under the modern development model.From the perspective of the update process in the past 40 years,Canary Wharf,as the largest terminal reconstruction project in the world at that time,has many characteristics of its own:the concept and positioning of the update are very clear,creating a new central business district in London;the government and the market Maintain balance and have a good interactive relationship;integrate various spatial elements in the city and change the original image.
