Located in the heart of London, Euston and its surroundings are about to face their biggest transformation in decades, a profound change affected by a traditional top-down process that does not take in account its inhabitants as a source of insights, knowledge, and community-building. The master plan projected in the area will be developed over the next 20 years, an interlude that can become an opportunity to explore different uses and test new citizen innovation proposals for the future.
T-Factor is a Horizon 2020 Innovation Action funded by the European Commission aimed at unlocking the transformative potential of temporary use in urban regeneration by gathering public officials, private developers, grassroot activist and academia from 25 organizations in 12 countries.
T-Factor’s Euston Pilot wants to take advantage of unused resources to promote new temporary uses for vacant lots and buildings that encourage an active participation of the people and collectives that will see their lives transformed by the process. We want to rebalance power by helping Euston’s living forces to speak out through concrete citizen proposals that use the neighborhood’s blank spaces as proofs of concept for better, open and participatory futures. There are many ways to get involved. Find yours in our project’s activities list!
The Euston masterplan seeks to make connections between communities, deliver a new network of public open spaces dedicated to culture and creativity, and develop opportunities for education and employment, all within a comprehensive mixed-use development.This is a project of national and global significance that will drive financial value and transformative social, economic and placemaking outcomes for Camden, London and the whole of the UK.
