Covent Garden market is moving out leaving nine acres of fiercely congested London quiet-for the first time in several centuries.
The departure of the market has opened the way for the planners and property developers eager to 'redevelop' not only the market itself but 90 acres of Covent Garden. Sunken motorways, an international conference centre, luxury hotels, expensive offices, tall apartment blocks. The benefits, many would reasonably argue, of 20th century development. It has been the same with the Barbican; the Elephant and Castle; in central Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester; Exeter and Plymouth. It brings a new style to our city centres and, indisputably, profit to potential developers. But at what cost to 'villages' like Covent Garden and the people who live in them? The planners seem confident and promise responsible behaviour. Jim Douglas Henry and a Man Alive team have been listening to the planners and the people because what is happening in Covent Garden is important for all of us.
