Sustainable Utilities Infrastructure

The Lower Lea Valley is the largest remaining regeneration opportunity in London, and with investment in the Olympic Park, offers a unique opportunity to plan for and deliver a UK exemplar of integrated sustainable utilities infrastructure.   

The Institute for Sustainability's Lower Lea Valley Sustainable Utilities Infrastructure project aimed to demonstrate the benefits of a systems approach to providing joined up energy, water, waste, transport and information networks as the foundation for whole community retrofit. 

After scoping work for the project, a phase 1 Lower Lea Valley Sustainable Infrastructure report, funded by the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation, was produced that identified opportunities for more joined up delivery of sustainable infrastructure in the area.

Working closely with public and private sector organisations our aim is to deliver projects that will show what can be achieved  in carbon reduction, lower energy costs, reduced fuel poverty and better health for whole communities.

The Lower Lea Valley Sustainable Infrastructure report has identified opportunities for more joined up delivery of sustainable infrastructure in the Lower Lea Valley.
