Canary Wharf Group

What does it take to become an effective urban change maker? 1. The best way to predict the future is to create it. Fast forward 35 years from our inception to the thriving neighbourhood we have today.?How did we get here??We saw opportunities, adding key transport links, creating a bustling residential neighbourhood - now 3,500 residents strong, bringing experience-led amenities, expanding our parks and accessibility to our waterways and now, building a world-class life sciences cluster.? 2. If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go further, go together. Collaboration with partners that share our purpose is key. The Felix Project, Eden Project, Transport for London, Canal & River Trust and London Borough of Tower Hamlets are all great examples of how we engage with our community to move forward stronger. 3. Leave the place better than when you found it. From brownfield to a vibrant city within a city.?Our purpose is?bringing people together to enhance lives now and in the future.?At CWG we work hard to ensure that everyone can enjoy our evolving, extraordinary environment. Great to speak alongside Tom Roberts, Andrea Carpenter and José Luis Martínez-Almeida Navasqüés on the?MIPIM Leaders' Perspective Stage to discuss the opportunities ahead for bringing about urban change at scale.

Featured in this month's Business Traveler, Canary Wharf's evolution in action?? In 2015, a remarkable shift in Canary Wharf's trajectory began with the inception of our residential neighbourhood, Wood Wharf. Fast-forward ten years and Wood Wharf is thriving seven days a week, now home to over 3,500 people offering green open spaces, waterside boardwalks, top restaurants, shopping and services all minutes apart ??♂? But our evolution doesn't stop at residential. If you've visited us over the last few years you'll have seen the exciting additions of experience-led retail such as Fairgame, Padium and THE CUBE, alongside a renewed connection to the water through our transformation of Eden Dock. With the recent launch of our very first aparthotel Vertus Edit, there is even more opportunity to visit and explore our London neighbourhood.
