Design Strategy for Chinatown, London
On the 1st November 2007, TRH The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall visited Chinatown in London with a small, distinguished
delegation from mainland China. Later that evening at the Pearl Awards,
held at the Royal Festival Hall, HRH The Prince of Wales gave a speech in
which he announced that his Foundation for the Built Environment had
kindly been invited by Westminster Council to build on existing work and
assist in the improvement of Chinatown.
A two-day ‘Enquiry by Design’ workshop, involving key stakeholders from the local area and community, was organised by The Prince’s Foundation in close coordination with Westminster City Council and hosted at The Prince of Wales Theatre (Piccadilly Circus) on the 15th and 16th May 2008. The purpose of the workshop was to learn what was already happening in the area, what is planned for the future and to explore opportunities for building on the positive elements to enhance Chinatown’s social, economic and environmental performance.
