GP 19: Truman Brewery 02: How Research Can Help Foster Community: with Anna Mansfield of Publica

Grow Places

What if we could help grow a neighbourhood while preserving its cultural roots?
Join us on a journey through East London's Truman Brewery with our guest Anna Mansfield from Publica. Anna shares her team's extensive research and the invaluable data they've gathered on the wider areas of Brick Lane, Spitalfields, and Banglatown to inform our current project. You'll gain insights into how this information shapes urban design, ensuring spaces remain relevant and beneficial to the local community, and hear about the critical role research plays in making informed decisions for authentic projects.
Explore the contrasting worlds of daytime and nighttime economies in Tower Hamlets and the unique challenges each presents. We discuss the critical need for safety measures for women working night shifts and highlight the historical and cultural significance of the Bangladeshi community to this place particularly. Discover how thoughtful urban development of the Truman Brewery aims to foster a more interconnected and vibrant community, leveraging data-driven insights to support the needs of a young, multicultural population.
Understand the complexities of maintaining the Truman Brewery's organic roots while planning for future growth. Anna explains the importance of balancing commercial, residential, and community spaces through both qualitative and quantitative analyses, and the importance of creating spaces that naturally encourage community interactions.
This episode promises a deep dive into the long-term vision for creating a vibrant, inclusive addition to the neighbourhood that bridges the gap between creative industries and local people and business.
