Delivering an economic development strategy for Greenwich, London

Oxford Economics Ltd for the Royal Borough of Greenwich

With some of the finest heritage assets in the capital and some of the largest recent regeneration projects, Greenwich plays a major part in London’s success. However, Greenwich’s productivity is low by the city’s standards and relies strongly on the public sector. Steer Economic Development have worked with Oxford Economics to develop a strategy to deliver more balanced growth in Greenwich.

After consulting stakeholders, six Priority Actions have been identified:

To set up a business space Task Force.
To implement an Innovation Programme for long term growth.
To form a Progression Partnership with Greenwich Partnership for better jobs.
To champion the extension of the DLR.
To develop Woolwich into a town centre of Metropolitan-wide significance.
To place an Innovation District at the heart of Charlton Riverside plans.

These strategically prioritised measures sit within a wider portfolio of 35 identified actions to make Greenwich in 2030 London’s Next Success Story.
