This project analyses the fragmented urban spaces of North Woolwich, London, focusing on themes of memory, belonging, and regeneration within the context of significant infrastructural change. Through critical urban theory by including Lefebvre’s “right to the city,” Soja’s spatial justice, and Harvey’s accumulation by dispossession, the study examines how capital-led regeneration and privatised development have intensified spatial inequalities, social exclusion, and community isolation.

Using narrative mapping, photo analysis, and estate market data, the project highlights the disconnect between planning narratives and local lived realities while proposing community land trusts and participatory networks of care as strategies for equitable, inclusive urban transformation.
