“Welcome to the first edition of Inspire magazine.

Close to the heart of the City, Islington has a special character, a long history and an active community. It faces all the challenges of a diverse central London borough, with extremes of poverty and wealth living side by side.

As the borough with the densest population in the capital the pressures on space are significant – yet there are new and exciting developments taking place here. We face a particular challenge of developing small infill sites. We also need to address the issue of sustainability and how to reduce our carbon emissions.

Our ambitious vision for Islington includes developing our active town centres, continuing the improvement of our public realm and green spaces, supporting local arts and cultural organisations and building new family homes to meet the needs of our diverse and growing population. We hope you will agree that Islington is one of the most dynamic, exciting parts of London and that this magazine inspires you to invest in our borough.”

Just a stone’s throw from the City of London and the West End, the borough of Islington has a lot to offer. The challenge it faces is in harnessing that potential and ensuring all sectors of

its population benefit from its assets and promising future.

The London Borough of Islington was created in 1965, when the old Metropolitan Boroughs of Islington and Finsbury were united. Islington’s origins date back to the Middle Ages, when much of its land belonged to religious institutions. Dairy farming later became big business, before the growth of London caused farmers to turn to brick manufacturing and property development. The development of railways brought industrialisation and social decline, but the tide has turned and parts of Islington have now become highly desirable residential neighbourhoods and popular business hubs.

Finsbury has long been known as a place for radicalism and optimism; this was perhaps most clearly exemplified by “the Finsbury Plan”, an incredibly ambitious social reform programme instigated by Finsbury Council in the 1930s.

A succession of changes in industry over the centuries has resulted in the area becoming synonymous with innovation and adaptation, qualities that are proving essential to its future prospects.

Islington’s tale is still one of two cities. While there remains a geographic division, with a significantly higher proportion of social housing in the Finsbury area, the more conspicuous division is in terms of wealth.

The borough has become a trendy and convenient place to live, popular with young professionals. It is an ideal commuter hub, with fast connections to central London, within walking distance of the Barbican. This connectivity is soon to be further improved by the new Crossrail/Thameslink station at Farringdon, and it’s only a short hop from King’s Cross – possibly one of the best-connected places in Europe.

A cosmopolitan atmosphere has been established by a strong creative community, with high-end shops, restaurants and bars in the Upper Street area, numerous galleries and theatres and a new wave of relocating media companies bringing a modern edge to the grand period properties lining the streets.

Islington’s robust and diverse economy is at the heart of its

The London Borough of Islington has seen good times and bad but all eyes are focused on the future now that a comprehensive programme of social and economic regeneration is under way, as Charlotte Goodworth discovers

Islington’s lively town centres and the robust and diverse economy are at the heart of its plans for a brighter future

plans for a brighter future, according to Seema Manchanda, service director of strategic planning and regeneration at Islington Council. “The Islington economy is very mixed and we have several lively town centres. The great thing is that there are many local shops in the borough that help provide character and interest, although we are very aware that it is these niche businesses that find current

economic conditions hardest. As well as retail we have strong clusters in architecture and design, cultural industries, finance and hospitality.”

There is, however, another side to Islington. It is the eighth most deprived local authority in England and the fourth in London. Over a third of Islington households live in local authority accommodation, the third highest proportion in the country. It has the second highest residential density in England and Wales, and one of the lowest proportions of green space.

This apparent dichotomy is already being addressed by government schemes such as the Decent Homes Programme, the

Healthy Schools Programme and the EC1 New Deal for Communities (EC1 NDC) initiative.

In 2008, Islington Council announced a record investment of more than £540 million to be pumped into building schools, houses and leisure facilities, crime prevention, refuse collection and street cleaning. The council has already achieved the highest

possible score in this year’s Audit Commission inspection as a result of cleaner streets, better exam results and safer social services.

Kirby Swales, chief executive of EC1 NDC, explains why the South Islington area was chosen by the government for this 10-year improvement programme: “Firstly, EC1 has a high concentration of social housing – 75% – which has meant that the population here fares less well on a lot of socio-economic indicators: unemployment is higher, their health status is worse, their education results are poorer. In a nutshell, EC1 has experienced multiple deprivation.

“The second thing is that the

introduction

area, like many parts of the city fringe, has suffered from changes in the labour market. That has taken a lot of life out of the area as the links between the local economy and the local population have gone.

“The real challenge is how to connect the area back into the vibrant London economy and to tackle some of the social problems associated with lots of disadvantaged people living in social housing.”

Since its inception in 2001, EC1 NDC has invested heavily in public realm, community facilities, and the local economy – as in Whitecross Street, a revived retail hub. It has also helped build up strong community organisations and improve local services.

Social housing across the borough is benefiting from some serious investment. Five years ago the council transferred the management of its housing stock to its ALMO partner, Homes for Islington (HfI), and since then tenant satisfaction has increased from 52% to 70%. The Audit Commission has judged that HfI provided three-star (excellent) services for two years running.

Eamon McGoldrick, chief executive of HfI: “The main focus of HfI’s work has been the Decent Homes Programme, and over £400 million has been spent since 2004 on improving the standard of housing in the borough.

“The last year has seen work get under way on the first of the council’s new build schemes, involving 27 new homes. The emphasis is on larger properties, which will help overcrowding.

“HfI will complete the Decent Homes Programme by late 2010 and expand its work with the new build and de-conversion schemes. We are also working with partners and stakeholders on key issues such as community safety, worklessness and child poverty. This work will help to improve the life chances of residents across Islington.”

Unemployment is being tackled through a series of council initiatives. “Islington Council has

pledged to employ 100 apprentices in the next two years,” explains Manchanda. “We’re working with partners and local employers to encourage them to take on a further 100 apprentices as well.”

education in Islington has alsoseen a great deal of investment and much improvement in the borough’s 45 primary and nine secondary schools. Islington’s GCSE students have performed better than ever this year according to this summer’s results. The number of students achieving five or more GCSE passes at A*-C in 2009 has risen from 56.4% to 64.4%.

And things are still improving, three primary schools were confirmed in April this year as among the top 50 in the country for the progress their pupils have made at Key Stage 2, and in January 2009 government figures revealed that Islington secondary schools were improving at more than double the national rate for achieving five grade A*-C GCSEs. Additionally, by 2008, 70% of schools in Islington had achieved National Healthy School Status, with 92% being actively engaged in the programme.

Arts, cultural and leisure facilities through the borough are also being improved, with the relatively recent refurbishment of the London Symphony Orchestra at St Luke’s and the Urdang Academy’s residency at Finsbury Town Hall and Kings Place.

Among the major leisure development projects soon to be started is the refurbishment of Ironmonger Row Baths, a grade II

listed gem that first opened in 1931. Islington Council, in partnership with EC1 NDC, has pledged £16 million to restore the baths as one of its key legacy projects. The development will help the building realise its full potential, add significant value and encourage inward investment.

Meanwhile Hornsey Road public baths has been given a new lease of life as a residential development by Grainger. The historic building has been refurbished, retaining its iconic chimney and neon ‘diving lady sign’ while offering 212 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments as well as a nursery, community space and 3,700sq m of office space.

One area of Islington that is experiencing a good deal of change is Arsenal, thanks to the Arsenal Development Scheme which is regenerating the area surrounding

the stadium. The scheme has created hundreds of jobs and 3,000 new and refurbished homes (of which 40% are affordable housing), bringing in an estimated £8 million a year of additional inward investment. The project encompasses seven development sites covering over five-and-a-half hectares, creating over 270,000sq m of development space and a new live/work district.

Antony Spencer, of Stadium Capital Holdings and the Arsenal Regeneration Team, has been instrumental in the development, as he identified the new site for Arsenal, and is particularly pleased with their success. “In a time of harsh economic conditions, the fact that we have attracted so many new businesses is a massive boost for the local economy and shows that Highbury Studios is the right concept for the area,” he says.

“Highbury Studios has got everything going for it: flexible planning permission for a range of commercial, retail and restaurant uses, great public transport connections and a vibrant mixed community.”

the success of the project reaffirms Islington’s position as a business location. The Business Design Centre (BDC), which opened in 1986, accommodates over 1,000 workers and attracts over 600,000 visitors a year as an exhibition and conference centre. Its surrounding area, the Angel, has become a vibrant and attractive town centre.

The BDC’s chairman, Jack Morris, believes it has played a major part in the area’s regeneration: “Having played that part, we also now benefit from what Islington has to offer. Our location continues to be a huge draw for exhibition and conference customers. The post-event entertainment and amenity options alone are endless. The local facilities also appeal to our showroom and office clients who love being in a magnificent building in an exciting location. There’s no doubt about it, Islington is a great place to do business. Despite the recession, I am optimistic about the future. I am confident Islington, ➻

with its robust and creative business community, will weather the storm and continue to thrive when the upturn comes.”

A significant factor in Angel’s improving business environment is the Angel Business Improvement District (BID). It was created in 2007, and its members are already witnessing positive changes.

Christine Lovett, director of Angel BID says: “We want to ensure Angel remains a thriving commercial centre, attracting visitors and shoppers through its rich mix of architecture, entertainment venues, bars and shopping opportunities. Here the historic and the modern exist side-by-side, and we feel privileged to work here – supporting and being a part of it.”

Lou Rokach, director of Groveworld Developers, has seen a marked improvement across the borough: “From a developer’s point of view Islington is very attractive as a mature, well-established market. Islington is still cheap compared to Kensington and Chelsea but is not far behind in what it has to offer. The trend towards city living over the last 20 years is only going to continue as people shun the commute to the shires.”

Going forward, the borough’s town centres are being improved, as Manchanda explains: “Our future vision sees investment in our town centres at Archway, Finsbury Park, Nag’s Head, Angel and Whitecross Street, supported by our emerging core strategy. We are working with the Homes and Communities Agency and key housing and development partners to ensure a steady stream of development investment over the next few years.”

The range of regeneration schemes includes the improvements along the length of the A1, which aim to bring greater unity to the communities on this important corridor; Islington Connect2 Route, which will link green spaces and provide a network of walking and cycling routes; the Playbuilder Programme, creating new play areas and refurbishing existing ones; the Greenspace Strategy 2009-10, investing £6 million in parks and helping tackle anti-social behaviour, and the Farringdon and Clerkenwell improvements, to enhance the bustling atmosphere with a new, pedestrian-friendly makeover.

As Islington Council’s chief excecutive John Foster says: “This is a borough full of promise and challenges, but the determination and potential undoubtedly exists to achieve our ambitious plans.” ♠

work in progress

AS A CONNECTING STATION fOr bOTh Thameslink and Crossrail farringdon is set for a major upgrade. The Thameslink route, which runs from St Albans to brighton, is currently undergoing major building and engineering work to upgrade and improve the service primarily to increase capacity, and provide relief for some London Underground lines. Work includes modifying platforms to accommodate longer trains, creating a new station entrance at Turnmill Street and a new ticket hall. farringdon station will remain open throughout the improvements, which will be on-going till 2012.

As part of the Crossrail route construction at farringdon will take place ready for opening in 2017. Enabling work has started on site and construction, which is mostly underground, will start in early 2010. The Crossrail route will provide a fast, high frequency link to heathrow and Maidenhead in the west and Woolwich and brentwood in the east.

Seema Manchanda, service director of strategic planning and regeneration at Islington Council explains: “Crossrail and Thameslink service improvements at farringdon will bring significant regeneration benefits and future development in the Clerkenwell and bunhill areas. As the only interchange between Crossrail and Thameslink it will have enormous importance in transport terms. higher passenger numbers passing through the area will bring more custom to Islington’s businesses. The council is already planning to create more attractive public spaces in the areas surrounding the new station buildings.”

ArGENT IS DEVELOPING OVEr 27-hectares of brownfield land on the boundary between Islington and Camden and it is the largest development site in central London. The site straddles the boundary between Islington and Camden councils but the benefits will be seen across the capital as a new district emerges from the shadows of St Pancras.

When complete the site will offer over 455,500sq m of office space, 1,700 new homes and serviced apartments, 46,400sq m of retail, 650 student units and 10 new parks and squares.

A whopping 40% of the site will be public open space, 20 historic buildings on the site will be given a new lease of life and up to 50 arts and music venues will be located within the site, which will also be the new home of the University of the Arts London.

John foster, chief executive at Islington Council says: “The King’s Cross project will be a fantastic addition to central London. It will animate the area and act as a catalyst for further improvement in the west of Islington, offering new opportunities for regeneration.”

The apartments are all sold and 70% of the commercial space is let to a range of small office studios, cafes, community facilities and businesses.And it seems the new tenants are very happy, Chris Denny, director at hyperion says: “highbury Studios offers a purpose-built, spacious and well presented environment that is well served by public transport. We are impressed by the high quality fit out and truly modern office space.” The new businesses that have moved into the scheme include Tesco Express, a new public health facility, a printing company, events and production business, hair and beauty salon, international film studios, Listen Limited charity, figaro Limited, fighting fit fencing which is training young Olympic hopefuls and gaming recruitment agency hyperion.Islington Studios is one of the latest businesses to move into the development, director Stephen Tottingham says: “We relocated to highbury Studios because of the lively and creative feel of the area – there are businesses around us that share our creative spirit. It is also a convenient location as it’s a stone’s throw from the underground and available at affordable rents.”A mixed, creative community was something the Arsenal Development Scheme was keen to create at the outset of highbury Studios and Antony Spencer, director at Stadium Capital, believes it has been achieved: “With apartments, office studios, retail, restaurants, leisure, educational and training units with generous landscaped outside space – this community really has it all.”

➵ThE MOVE CrEATED SPACE fOr A UNIqUE residential development at the old highbury ground. The stands from the old stadium have been transformed into one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, and the old pitch has been retained and turned into a two-acre landscaped garden with seating and lighting features. The development, by Arsenal football Club being overseen by agents AGS and Savills, also features a fitness centre, swimming pool and underground car parking.

The four-hectare development, which was designed by Sir robert McAlpine features over 650 apartments, many of which are now sold, 70 of them are shared equity/affordable homes.

Distinctive in its appearance, owing to the site’s former use, the creation of highbury Square has required a considered approach. Unsurprisingly the build was not without its challenges, as Chris heather, planning officer at Islington Council, explains: “One of the main challenges was dealing with the listed East Stand. One of the most impressive things about the development is that if you look at the East Stand from certain angles it still does look like an operational stand. The structure retains its integrity and it is quite impressive.

“It was a large piece of land. It had to be developed and I think it has been developed in a way that is compatible with the local area, and the design quality of the scheme is very high. It is a very interesting development, a bit of a one-off.”

ISLINGTON’S bUILDING SChOOLS for the future (bSf) programme will be delivered by the local education partnership – Transform Islington in three phases between 2008 and 2012. It represents a key driver in the borough’s regeneration.

Eight secondary schools are to be included in the programme, which sees over £140 million invested in the borough over the five-year period. In addition a new purpose-built pupil referral unit and a secondary special education needs (SEN) school will be created and millions of pounds invested in IT upgrades and at least 20% renewable energy produced at each school site.

“We believe in giving our young people the best possible start in life, so we’re transforming our secondary schools into modern and flexible facilities. Thanks to this investment, our local schools will be a fantastic resource for the community for decades to come,” says councillor Paula belford, executive member for children’s services.

The first phase of development got under way in the spring term of 2008, and is set to deliver three upgraded schools by 2010. Included in this stage of the project is the demolition and re-building of highbury Grove Secondary School, which incorporates Samuel rhodes SEN School, the rebuilding and refurbishment of the 19th century classroom block at St Aloysius, as well as the construction of a new teaching block on the site, and changes at holloway School, including the refurbishment and remodelling plus demolition and rebuilding of the school hall, its performance spaces and kitchens.

WOrK ON ThE CIVIC SPACE ATCity road basin is now complete. The site, which had been closed to the public for decades opened in the autumn, and has already been used for community events including the Angel Canal festival.

The transformation of the area is wholesale. The sub-station remains in-situ and fully operational, yet removed from sight as the paved area runs over the top of the building. The only clues to its existence are the funky metal structures that punctuate the square – acting as cooling vents they look like public art installations and are lit up at night. The paving runs down to the canal allowing people access to the water at City road basin for the first time.

The residential elements of the scheme, which have planning permission, are being brought forward in phases. The first

phase is complete and funding for the next phase, a joint venture between Groveworld, Miller Developments and british Waterways, is currently under discussion and it is hoped will be on site by the end of the year. The striking 30-storey tower at 259 City road, designed by bennetts Associates, will provide 202 private and 93 affordable homes.

Ian Manson at Groveworld says: “The public realm has created a big improvement, it is a vital element of the masterplan and we’re delighted with it. We’ve got no doubt this project is going to happen. Islington is very well located and it’s an improving area, which is possibly undervalued at the moment.”

ONE Of 39 NEW DEAL fOr Communities (NDC) organisations across the country to have received government funding, the EC1 NDC has been establishing regeneration projects in some of the borough’s most deprived areas since its inception in April 2001.

The scheme, awarded funding of £52.9 million, is a ten-year project, covering about 4,800 houses in the south of Islington. It aims to make the area greener, safer and more attractive; encouraging a healthier and wealthier population, with better skills and life opportunities; and creating a stronger, more sustainable community. And considerable success has already been enjoyed.

Kirby Swales, chief executive of EC1 NDC says: “Our type of regeneration deals with the underlying problems that cause areas to deteriorate or not fulfil their potential. It tackles the people issues, such as unemployment or poor parenting, that new build developments do not address, and is much more cross-cutting.”

Among the most recent projects to reach completion, and one which neatly exemplifies the work carried out under the initiative, is the £570,000 development near the brunswick Estate, which included the creation of two playgrounds, allotments, a large lawn area, and new planting and lighting. The area was previously derelict, but is now a focal point for the community. ♠

ISLINGTON COUNCIL IS building council houses again, about 25 years since the last wave of council-built residential units.

The council’s ALMO, homes for Islington(hfI) , is developing two sites – one off St Paul’s road on the border with hackney and the other off Caledonian road, creating 14 new homes. And this is just the beginning of a series of council-backed housing projects, with future plans for schemes with the homes and Communities Agency (hCA) already under way.

Eamon McGoldrick, hfI chief executive, says: “housing is a very important issue for the borough. We have long waiting lists and families in temporary accommodation. And, as with many London boroughs, there is also a shortage of affordable homes. Islington, although densely populated already, still has to produce something like 1,100 new residential units each year.

“We are aiming to build family homes, to try and keep them in the borough instead of seeing them moving out. We need to get the demographics in balance.”

Councillor barbara Smith, Islington’s executive member for housing and community safety, says: “The council and hfI are working very closely with the hCA to deliver high quality, sustainable social housing for the next generation.”

Homes for Islington

development taking place: “The existing estate turned its back on the neighbouring properties, so one of the main drivers for the project was to solve this by putting back as many street properties as possible.

“The whole development has 133 family houses, and we are putting back the street patterns, so it will not be an estate any more, it will be part of the streetscape. We are creating a community people can be happy to be part of.”

Islington has a wealth of historic buildings. Julie Mackintosh discovers how developers and architects have incorporated the borough’s heritage in its future

past present future

heritage

“Developers always want to make more changes to a listed building than the local authority’s conservation team or English Herit-age want them to. At the end of the day, it’s about balancing heritage and commercialism. Planners need to be pragmatic about the com-mercial aspects and we, as develop-ers, need to be sympathetic in our design.”

With this wonderfully succinct observation, Gary Brooks, construction director for P&O Estates, reveals perhaps the greatest barrier to heritage-led regeneration, a vital element of Islington’s renaissance. And yet, as Brooks, who led the redevelopment of canalside Regent Quarter with its now award-winning listed warehouses, explains, compromise can be achieved with the right approach.

“Early agreement between planners and the developer on how to bring a listed building back into effective use and what each expects of the other is vital,” he says.

It might be one of the smaller London boroughs, but Islington has more than its fair share of interesting places. It developed in a piecemeal fashion from the early 1800s onwards, with landowners selling off chunks for house building at various intervals. “The arrival of the railways and canals saw London become more populated and the new housing less ornate,” explains local historian Mark Aston. Although the borough did suffer some bomb damage during WWII, he says, much of the post-war development of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s actually owed more to enthusiastic planning which saw “entire areas swept away”

Regent Quarter

Covering four city blocks to the east of King’s Cross station, a total area of 30,000sq m, Regent Quarter now offers a mix of homes, offices, shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a 275-bed hotel.The site was formerly a 19th-century industrial complex. The new-look Regent Quarter manages to preserve the character of the old buildings while introducing new ones. Once an almost impenetrable district, it is now fully accessible to the public via a series of pedestrian routes linking newly created open spaces and residential courtyards with surrounding streets.

Canonbury Square

Built in the early 1800s by architect Henry Leroux, Canonbury Square is the oldest of the Islington squares. That said, its present appearance, with elegant homes arranged around beautiful enclosed gardens, owes much to the post-blitz renovation and restoration of the 1950s. Canonbury Square is considered by many to be the most perfect in the capital and is, of course, famed for its past residents, including writers Evelyn Waugh and George Orwell and theatre manager Sam Phelps (who revived Sadler’s Wells). It is part of the Canonbury Conservation Area.

Highbury Stadium

For 93 years, Highbury Stadium was filled with thousands of football fans cheering on their beloved Arsenal. Following the team’s move to the new Emirates Stadium in 2006, the old art-deco arena has been transformed into 700 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses encircling a two-acre communal garden. Highbury Square will retain many of the original art-deco features including the marble entrance hall, the existing Grade II-listed East Stand, the West Stand (also of historic significance but not listed), the original tunnel and the existing pitch area located between the two stands.

Newington Green

Home to what are thought to be the oldest terraced houses in England (dating from 1658); English Heritage purchased numbers 53 to 55 in 1984 and undertook major structural repairs prior to their sale and refurbishment by a private owner. Next door, at number 52, tree-ring analysis revealed re-used 16th-century timbers. Complementing the architectural heritage, Newington Green has undergone regeneration with improvements to the square and the opening of new businesses and shops.

that it has now been so wonderfully restored and is fêted internationally I think shows how far we have come in the past 30 years.”

Then there’s the much-desired ‘sense of place’. Older buildings can retain the link between a community’s past and its regenerated future, and there is no shortage of such buildings in Islington. Historic places are often a powerful focus for community action and activity, and local people will be more likely to support a regeneration programme that values and restores their heritage.

On this, the British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) agrees. In an analysis of best practice in urban regeneration, the association concluded that “Historic buildings can act as focal points around which communities rally and revive their sense of civic pride.

Care should be taken not to destroy old buildings before their potential is realised”.

Attard says, “Listed buildings add value to a place and often have strong social importance to the community. That remembrance value should not be overlooked. In my experience, successful projects involve local residents. You can’t overestimate how important their input is during consultation.”

Arguably, heritage-led investment is also good for business – potentially attracting not only more residents and visitors but also commercial enterprises that will, in turn, be supported by the increased footfall.

And then there’s the environment. Reusing existing buildings can be a simple way of achieving sustainability. Demolition and construction account for 24% of the total annual waste produced in the UK – and, as Asselmeyer says, regeneration is about retaining what is good.

English Heritage has recently been concentrating its efforts on conservation areas. Subject to similar development restrictions as listed buildings, the first survey of the country’s 9,300 conservation

areas nonetheless discovered one in seven are at risk of neglect, decay or damage and many more giving cause for concern.

Dr Simon Thurley, chief executive of English Heritage, says, “The problems fall into two main areas: what owners do to their properties and what councils do or fail to do. We want councils to make more use of Article 4 directions to protect small but important original details such as windows, doors and front gardens. And councils should use their powers to encourage owners of

neglected or derelict buildings to repair or sell them.

“But we also want local people to get involved. Our survey shows that conservation areas with community support are more than twice as likely to have improved over the past three years as those without.”

Islington came out well in the survey, and was awarded the London region’s prize for its work in the Whitecross Street and King’s Cross conservation areas. And the newly developed Regent Quarter was judged to

be one of the most improved areas in the capital since 2006. So, it seems that heritage-led regeneration really does work. ♠

Like much of London, isLington is made up of former villages. The village greens and churches may survive but these town centres, as they are today, are often missing the strong community link and sense of civic pride that residents may once have felt for the likes of Clerkenwell, Finsbury Park and Angel.

In a bid to increase civic pride and investor interest, small-scale changes have been made across some of Islington’s town centres with surprisingly impressive results. From Archway to Angel, small, but practical solutions ranging from art installations and flower displays to additional policing have been transforming the borough’s town centres.

ArchwAy in december 2007 new lighting was installed at Archway Triangle, a large island in the middle of a busy gyratory system. “For years the residents and council were calling for lighting for the trees, because it’s quite grey and traffic-dominated,” says Geoff Haines, senior transport planner (environment and regeneration) at Islington Council. “Although it wasn’t really crime-related, it was an eyesore. People feel safer there at night now.”

A new partnership between Islington Council and Byam Shaw School of Art and University of the Arts London, with funding from Transport for London, is bringing highly acclaimed artists to work with light in Archway. Alight is a three-year programme of ambitious temporary artworks that will explore and animate Archway’s winter nights.

“We see the programme of light installations over 2009-2011 as

a way of illuminating dark nights, helping establish a positive identity for the area, promoting civic pride, encouraging investment by raising Archway’s profile and attracting new audiences to the area.” Councillor Lucy Watt, deputy leader of Islington Council comments.

Alight’s first project, Archway Nights, Roller Lights, (top) ran in February and March, and brought roller skaters from across London to skate around the Archway Tower area and light up the night with mobile LED units. It was created by Hilary Powell, who filmed the event as Light Years Away. The film was given a suitably public premiere on March 18th, when it was projected onto the face of an office building adjacent to the tower visible to thousands of commuters on their way home.

A second project Trip the Light Fantastic by Jane Watt (right) will run from January to April 2010.

Angelset up in april 2007 the angel Business Improvement District (BID) aims to make Angel a better, brighter place to do business. Christine Lovett, town centre manager and BID director, believes it has already achieved a great deal – not least in the realm of public safety.

“Our BID is unique,” she says, “because we have our own police team. Due to the crime and anti-social behaviour – we had a lot of begging – people felt Angel needed more police presence. Community feedback was that it didn’t always feel safe for residents and workers.”

A dedicated team of eight officers was assigned to the Angel BID project. “The police were keen on the idea because they got additional officers paid for by the private sector,

installation for Archway tube station. Batchelor plans to build a ten metre high ‘fountain’ using thousands of brightly coloured fairground lights.

Anna Woodward, Archway’s town centre manager says feedback from residents and local businesses has been overwhelmingly positive. “With Archway Nights, Roller Lights around 100 local people participated in the film shoots and over 500 people came to the film showing and final roller disco in March. Several residents said to me on the night, ‘Can we please have this every week?’”

which, in turn, has freed officers up for other duties.”

As a result, Lovett says, “We don’t have graffiti. We don’t have flyposting and, of course, the police add a layer of security. Before, we had shoplifters who had drug problems, we had kids riding bikes on pavements, and people who didn’t want to use the cash machines because of beggars sitting by them.”

With the Angel Centre leisure facility set to be redesigned by owners Derwent Valley – it gained permission in February to increase its office element to 23,600sq m –even more businesses should soon be attracted to Angel. Lovett is delighted Cancer Research has chosen to invest in Angel for its headquarters: “They wouldn’t have taken the space ➵

nAg’S heAd nag’s head town centre managerJoyce Pollaya is proud of the work done by the Town Centre Management Group – since taking up her post five years ago she has seen a 30% drop in crime.

The group was set up to support local business, improve accessibility, cleanliness and community safety, and to promote the area to visitors. One of the particular issues it set out to tackle was the huge problem of illegal trading of counterfeit cigarettes. “It was effectively organised crime,” she says. “It had an awful impact on the area and businesses were losing trade.” She helped launch several small-scale initiatives to tackle the problem, including a Shop Radio Link scheme and an outreach programme engaging illegal traders in a more positive dialogue with the community.

As well as appointing Pollaya, the council funded a dedicated police team and improved the public realm: a new lighting scheme was installed along Holloway Road to make pedestrians feel safer and proved so successful it has been extended to

if they didn’t feel that the area was a good place to do business.”

Cancer Research’s arrival also proves another point, which Lovett is eager to emphasise: “We are obviously known for our retail but we have other types of businesses. Our strengths also lie in our cultural offer – particularly Sadler’s Wells. With the London Olympics in 2012 we can promote a sense of place, and show we have plenty of culture.”

Other items high on Angel BID’s agenda include expansion (it currently only covers Upper Street as far as Islington Green) and forging closer links with the local authority. “We would like to see improved crossings and more green space and to extend the BID along Upper Street, which is a natural expansion.”

Lovett feels she has every reason to be optimistic about Angel’s future. “When we talk to people they say they feel the place has really improved. We know we have helped that happen, which makes us feel very positive.”

Seven Sisters Road. The results speak for themselves:

as well as that 30% reduction in crime, there has been a 95% reduction in illegal traders operating in the area. And local businesses are starting to invest in themselves: last year the area’s main department store, James Selby (now rebranded as Selby’s), underwent a multi million-pound refurbishment.

“There are plans for others to carry out refurbishment,” says Pollaya. “It’s a sign there is potential here, that it is worth putting money into businesses – and this is all going on during an economic downturn. Our experience since January is that people are staying local to shop.” Redevelopment is being planned for a number of locations, including the Nag’s Head Shopping Centre. Pollaya continues: “Future plans range from new public art installations to improvements to traffic flow and landscaping to large scale redevelopments. Nag’s Head has come a long way and changed a lot but the journey’s not over yet.” ♠

despite being one of London’s densest urban areas, Islington is leading by example with ambitious plans to be the capital’s greenest borough. Working in partnership with local organisations and residents the council has an impressive range of green and sustainability initiatives and Islington’s environmental performance is certainly something worth shouting about.

Climate change initiatives such as green roofs, fitting wind turbines to buildings and researching alternative methods of heat and power production have seen Islington secure national recognition. The borough was the recipient of the inaugural Municipal Journal’s Energy Efficiency Council of the Year award in 2009, and, among other things, it boasts more green roofs than any other London borough.

But the council is keeping its feet firmly on the ground, as Greg Foxsmith, Islington’s executive member for environment explains:

“The Municipal Journal was one of a number of awards we have won. But awards are only one element; they are a nice external recognition, but the real test of what we are doing is the level of recognition we get on the ground from our residents and businesses, and whether we are actually making positive advances.”

The council is not just talking the green talk, as an examination of the schemes in place show. Notable among them is the emphasis being placed on the importance of the borough’s Decentralised Energy Project (DEP). Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an efficient technology used for generating both power and heat simultaneously, and is at the heart of the DEP. Generating energy in this way reduces carbon emissions, lowers costs and improves the reliability and security of the energy.

This technology is set to play a vital role as the country looks to reduce its carbon emissions. London’s top priority for combating climate change is to move a quarter of its energy supply off the National Grid and on to local, decentralised systems by 2025. Islington Council is committed to reducing the borough’s carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, and CHP is going to

play a major part in achieving this ambitious target.

Work is being carried out to assess where the borough’s first wave of CHP generators should be located. Areas where buildings are clustered together have high heat demands and the intention is to focus on such sites. Switching to CHP is not something that can happen overnight. It requires a considerable amount of planning and investment. But the benefits are long-term, which is why Islington, and other councils around the country are committed to moving in this direction.

Bob Gilbert, service director for environmental sustainability at Islington Council says: “We have an aspiration for a CHP network covering the whole borough, and we are currently at the feasibility stage.

“The main reason for the focus on CHP is that it brings about the step change in carbon saving. It is a very effective way of decarbonising a set of buildings, if you have a series of sizeable heat loads in an area. Islington is a fairly densely packed borough, we have buildings that are close together, so it should be one of the places in the country where we should be able to get this going. And if we can get it going here,

Organisations around the world are eager to provide sound bites asserting their green credentials. Some perform better than others, but the borough of Islington is certainly leading the charge in the capital. By Alex Aspinall

it can work elsewhere too.”Another scheme highlighting

the extent of the council’s desire to improve the borough’s performance is the Green Living Centre. Located at 222 Upper Street, and designed as a public resource service, the Green Living Centre offers tips and advice on subjects such as saving energy, recycling and using sustainable building materials. The council also runs a series of events, held at various locations around the borough, designed to promote more sustainable living.

And it seems Islington’s residents are ready and willing to do their bit for a greener future. Indeed, not content with recycling and turning off lights and unwatched television sets, some are even using their own cash to add to Islington’s Climate Change Fund (CCF). The borough’s CCF supports and funds the green energy and transport projects in Islington, which will enable it to realise its short-term ambition of cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 15% by 2011.

Islington’s businesses are also eager to contribute. The borough’s Climate Change Partnership, which started two years ago with 30 businesses, now has over 160 businesses committed to reducing their carbon emissions by 15% over three years. Members include many of Islington’s largest organisations, and range from City law firms to Whittington Hospital and Arsenal Football Club. This scheme is another example of the council actively seeking improvements; energy usage is monitored and results are published.

Lucy Padfield, energy services manager at Islington Council says:

“We are trying to cover the whole range of issues, and we are very honest about detailing real energy use. We measure these things in real terms. It is a better way of doing it than just saying ‘we have all these schemes going, so everything must be great’. You have to look at the whole picture, and that is what we try and do.”

This commitment to sustainability is also evident within the confines of the council’s planning department. And it shows, the Ropemaker building on Islington’s border with the City, is set to become one of the most sustainable buildings ever developed in the Square Mile. With a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent,’ and an impressive emission

count 15% lower than required by building regulations, the plans for Ropemaker included a range of sustainability considerations such as solar panels and facilities for people cycling to work, which will benefit both the organisations occupying the building, and the borough as a whole.

This development is exactly the kind of building Islington wants to encourage. The planning department and those working on sustainability in the borough work very closely, which ensures the council’s green focus will be reflected in future buildings.

Kevin O’Leary, Islington Council’s director of environment and regeneration, says: “Having a sustainability team has led to corporate benefits on the green agenda. We are getting good results in our major applications, in terms of new developments that have renewable energy, climate change adaptation features, sustainable urban drainage features and green roofs.”

Ropemaker seems ideally suited to its borough. Both are forward-thinking and leading the charge as London aims to become an exemplar sustainable city. Each borough has its own role to play in this, but no one could accuse Islington of shirking its responsibilities in this department. Confidence is high that the borough will continue to lead where others follow. ♠

Good transport links and public realm are vital to regeneration. Pamela Buxton finds out more

Get connected

IslIngton’s streets and transport routes are set for an unprecedented boost thanks to a massive investment in the borough’s main infrastructure. It is, says Islington spatial planning and transport head Karen Sullivan, a once-in-a-generation situation, with millions being spent on transport initiatives like Crossrail and a cycle superhighway as well as an associated series of public realm improvements.

“Islington will be a better connected, more accessible place. With Crossrail there will be direct connections to Heathrow and Thameslink will provide links to Gatwick and Luton airport via Farringdon,” she says.

Stations like Farringdon will be transformed. When its new Crossrail station opens in 2017, this relatively small station will become one of the most significant gateways to London as the intersection for Crossrail and Thameslink. The environs of Farringdon station have already been improved: Cowcross Street outside the entrance has been pedestrianised, and work is well under way on a

public realm

new station entrance on Turnmill Street and a pedestrian bridge.

King’s Cross has been greatly improved with the new Thameslink Station, a new ticket hall at the main station, improvements to the station facade along York Way and the opening of St Pancras International Station to serve the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. Islington is also working with the London Borough of Camden to sort out the surrounding landscape – one of the top priorities is a new square at the front of King’s Cross station.

Islington already scores pretty highly on streetscape but there is still much work to be done. “We’ve got good public realm by virtue of having lots of 18th and 19th century streets and buildings. A lot of Islington is very desirable,” says Islington’s deputy leader, Lucy Watt. However, that isn’t the whole story – much of Islington has been degraded by poor transport and urban planning decisions made in the 1960s and 1970s. Watt continues: “One of our key aims is to reclaim these areas from traffic and restore our streets and spaces to a human scale – that’s

“Small scale changes add up to make a big difference for residents and potential investors”

where we’re focusing our attentions.” This is being brought about through a

combination of improvements to the fabric of existing streets and more ambitious, transformative projects. Islington Council is nearing the end of a programme to replace the huge number of defective lighting columns in the borough, and has spent £20 million on improving pavements and carriageways. Perhaps surprisingly, traffic calming measures have reduced serious car accidents by one third and there have also been improvements to street cleaning and parking provision. These small step-change improvements all add up to a big difference for both residents and potential investors, according to Bram Kainth, the council’s service director (public realm).

“It makes people feel good, and that’s something which is underestimated,” he says. “If people feel the area is being valued and respected their civic pride goes up, which is key to regeneration later on.”

A major initiative has been set up to explore the feasibility of transforming busy roundabouts throughout the borough into important public spaces. At Highbury Corner, for instance, there are plans to close off the western arm of the roundabout to general traffic and give greater access to the central green. Walking, cycling and public transport will be given priority, with the post office in front of Highbury and Islington Station being moved over to the other side of the road to create more public space. Islington Council has committed to invest £5 million, and Transport for London is being pressed to do the same. Work is scheduled to begin after the opening of the East London Line in 2011, and it is estimated that it will cost between £6-11 million pounds. As well as bringing significant benefits to transport links at Highbury Corner – the investment will improve the quality of the surrounding public space. In 2011 residents and commuters passing through Highbury Corner will be able to experience a vastly improved offer, one that echoes the quality of design playing a role in Islington’s wider regeneration.

Meanwhile other projects have been moving at a pace. City Road Basin is now complete, although not yet open to the public while last minute works are concluded. With commercial and residential provision planned, the masterplan for the site was developed to realise a landscape strategy for im-proved public realm – including a redesigned green space at the head of the basin with wide steps down to the water, offering public access to the basin for the first time. Something Steven Rankin, architect at Bennetts Associates, is pleased about. “It is an undiscovered part of London,” he says. “City Road is a noisy and busy thoroughfare so it is surprising to step down off it and find a quiet relaxing space next to the water. It has been a neglected and difficult to access part of the borough.” Rankin believes the pub-lic realm element of the project is a good indication

of what’s to follow, “It is most definitely the start of something bigger,” he says.

Opening the area up to the public was not straight forward as the site incorporates an operating electricity sub-station. The public realm has effectively been built on top of the station and the circular structures that catch the eye are not actually public art installations but provide a cooling function for the sub-station. Although effectively the result of engineering requirements Rankin points out they have become a signature for the basin. Particularly when lit up at night they give significance to the space, providing character and visibility, a talking point. “We realised it could be much more than a technical thing,” he says. “We turned it into a playful, fun thing. It turned out to be a bonus.”

there are also several street projects in progress across the borough. Islington has already had some success with Whitecross Street, which runs from St Luke’s Church on Old Street to the Barbican: the council has spent £2 million over the last five years on improvements to the street, including new paving and measures to regenerate Whitecross Street Market (London’s oldest street market, which has grown from 23 to 60 regular traders). It is now turning its attention to regenerating Exmouth Market, the already-popular stretch of shops and restaurants located off Farringdon Road.

These improvements will supplement the borough’s investments in enhancing its green spaces, such as the £1 million earmarked for Highbury Fields over the next 18 months.

As well as improving the physical public realm, Islington is also hoping to make the borough a more pleasant place by reducing congestion on the roads. It already has the biggest car club in Britain as well as a City Van hire scheme, and is keen to boost cy-cling in the borough. The London Cycle Hire scheme – similar to the Velib scheme in Paris – is being im-plemented across the congestion charge zone in the south of the borough from next May, with a view to rolling it out elsewhere if it’s a success. At the same time there are plans to make cycling a more attrac-tive option by introducing a cycle superhighway on the A1 by 2012.

Islington is keen to make the most of the unprecedented sums currently being invested in transport infrastructure across the capital – and although, from a passenger capacity point of view, this may only be a question of playing catch-up, it’s also a golden opportunity to unlock the potential many stations have for being more than just transport portals and contributing positively to the public realm. ♠

organisations were operating in isolation. There was not a huge amount of joined-up work. There was no connectivity. But Creative Islington is very much about supporting the creative and cultural sector in the borough by bringing people together. There is a lot more connectivity now than there has been in the past. And it needs to continue.

“The different sectors in the borough bounce off each other too. The theatre sector is dependent on people coming to Islington for the restaurants, bars, and the shops, and vice-versa. It is about people being connected, and understanding that it is worth us all coming together.”

An understanding of the link between arts, culture and the wider business community is increasingly informing development and decisions. One example of this is the wonderfully mixed-use Kings Place development, which opened in October 2008.

Just five minutes’ walk from King’s Cross, the landmark building is home to a range of businesses including the Guardian newspaper, and major cultural organisations such as the London Sinfonietta Orchestra

and the Orchestra of the Age of enlightenment. Open to the public, the building has a restaurant and bar and runs a broad programme of arts-based public events and activities.

This mix of arts and business is a model that is becoming more popular across the country and the benefits of combining business and the arts under one roof is certainly being felt by those involved, something the council is pleased to see.

Courtie comments: “It is important the business and arts community work together to promote the area. Increasingly businesses looking to relocate are considering the quality of life for employees and their families. A strong cultural offer has a major impact on a company’s ability to attract and retain a skilled, and just as importantly, contented, workforce. In Islington culture really is a big draw.”

Islington’s theatrical ‘big draw’ makes a significant contribution. Its reputation as a cultural hotspot is firmly fixed, and there is no reason to think the borough will do anything apart from continue to go from strength to strength.

Stephanie Sinclaire, King’s Head Pub and Theatre chief executive, says: “Islington is a theatre-going Mecca. I always feel ‘the more the merrier,’ because we are like a theatre district. We are lucky. All these

Left: A performance at the Little Angel Theatre.Right: Sadler’s Wells Theatre.

On this, the British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) agrees. In an analysis of best practice in urban regeneration, it concluded that “Historic buildings

theatres are well established, are all doing really interesting, good work and have very good reputations.” ♠

Free the wordThe office on Farringdon Road that was home to The Guardian from 1976 has more than secured its place in media history. And it is fitting that its association with the written word was not lost when the newsgroup moved to pastures new.

In situ now is Free Word, an innovative organisation dedicated to promoting and democratising the power of the written and spoken word, and protecting creativity and free expression, both nationally and internationally. Relatively new, Free Word was established in 2004 to bring together people interested in literature, literacy and free expression through programmes and events. The building offers work space, meeting rooms, a lecture theatre and a café for the nine like-minded organisations, along with charity Free Word, who have taken up residence.
