GP 18: Truman Brewery 01: People, Place, Community: Masterplan with Buckley Gray Yeoman

Grow Places

Welcome to the Grow Places podcast, your go-to source for understanding the dynamic interplay of people, growth, and place.

In this special episode, we take you to the heart of East London, broadcasting from the iconic Truman Brewery. Here, we're collaborating with the Truman Brewery and local stakeholders from Brick Lane, Spitalfields, and Banglatown to bring forward planning applications for underutilised parts of the site.
Tune in to hear how this redevelopment promises to open up previously enclosed areas, create new opportunities for local businesses, and enhance the daily lives of residents and visitors alike.

Joining us are guests Holly Wells, Associate Director, and Amr Assaad, Director at Buckley Gray Yeoman, as they discuss their roles as Masterplanner and building designer in the Truman Brewery redevelopment. Discover the masterplan behind this project, aiming to deliver a modern yet heritage led project, while fostering sustainable growth. Learn about the new public spaces, residential areas, and creative hubs designed to make this site a vibrant, inclusive community for all.
