| WELLESLEYROAD AND PARKLANE |
LONDON, CROYDON - first prize |
|
| The competition is part of the plans to regenerate Croydon, situated in the South of London. The ambition for Croydon is to turn the city district, counting 350.000 inhabitants, into London´s ´third town´, besides Westminster and the City of London. This ambition is determined in Third City Vision, which is the result of the work of architect Will Alsop in concertation with the inhabitants of Croydon.
The transformation of Wellesley Road and Park Lane, the central long line in Croydon, is one of the key projects in Croydon. The assignment is to reshape the monstrous main road, splitting the centre in two, into a lively and liveable centre. |
