“…As Jerry White points out, rents associated with the LCC's overspill estates and with new council housing were generally affordable only by skilled workers unless there were several earners in an unskilled working family. 34 Their remoteness from employment prospects plus high transport costs also made them ill-suited to unskilled labourers. The funding requirement of the Housing Act of 1930 that those displaced as a result of clearance would be rehoused as part of the process also posed difficulties for the redevelopment of unskilled poor areas.…”

This paper is concerned with issues of urban change in areas of London that have become the focus of regeneration strategies predicated on accommodating growth and development within existing city boundaries. Its focus is in the Lower Lea Valley in East London, which developed in the nineteenth century in the context of its peripheral location with respect to central London and which continues to lie at the seam between urban authorities. Today, this whole area is subject to regeneration plans based on addressing the physical and social manifestations of this transforming peripherality -including environmental impacts of industrialization, post-industrial piecemeal development, spatial disconnection, and long-standing patterns of social deprivation -by creating a framework geared towards attracting new investment, population and employment and, in the process, addressing the impediments to change that are seen to have been posed by fractured local policy. Taking one small part of this larger area, Hackney Wick, which is beside the 2012 London Olympic site in the London Borough of Hackney, the paper turns to planning history to explore its development from the nineteenth century in relation to urban boundaries. It uses this exploration as the basis for reflecting on the significance of contemporary boundary adjustments and plans predicated on facilitating the creation of local centrality for the remaking of an urban 'edgeland'.
