Creative Estuary - Developing the world’s most exciting creative cluster

How cultural co-location is shaping cultural regeneration in the Thames Estuary


We have assembled an influential and expert panel of leaders from the Public and Private sectors, chaired by Max Farrell, to explore this topic. We’ll hear how Creative Estuary is testing and demonstrating new practice in the role of cultural-led regeneration. As well as planning and placemaking through designing and planning for co-located cultural facilities and creative workspaces within planned civic infrastructure in different development scenarios.

As pilot projects of Creative Estuary, we’ll hear about the developments at Ebbsfleet Garden City and Purfleet and how cultural co-location is helping to shape their future. We’ll get an understanding of how cultural vision and economic vision are coming together in the form of cultural co-location and how the benefits of this are being articulated to business and community. We’ll also hear from the creative industry on the benefits and impact of working in a creative cluster and about the planned new film & TV studio in Dagenham and the role the creative cluster plays in its successful operation as well as wider placemaking in Dagenham. Also with us are representatives from the Thames Estuary Growth Board who will tell us how Creative Estuary is important to their wider ambitions for the area.
