London Dockland Study Team

(Copied over from LDDC talk page)

I have the two volume 'London Dockland Study Team Docklands redevelopment proposals for East London' produced by R Travers Morgan & Partners, produced early 1973 (ie before the impact of joining the then EEC, the Yom Kippur War etc and the consequences variously thereof).

Among other points - a concentration on industry rather than office development, the Channel Tunnel (1970s version) was to pass through; and the possibility of 'a minitram (light railway system)' - presumably a precursor of the DLR.

A mention in the article? Jackiespeel (talk) 16:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the context behind the report. That, together with the report's brief recommendations and the eventual outcome (you'd need to research a bit more to find that, perhaps also in Hansard) might make an interesting addition to the history section. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was referring to the oil price rises consequent on the 1973 Middle East crisis. There would also be the impact of changing government policy towards development etc.

Going beyond 'finding the reference materials' might be too much into Original Research for WP purposes. Jackiespeel (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will add some other titles here so they can be formatted etc - though some are fairly obscure and not easily found on websearches. Jackiespeel (talk) 13:18, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
