ABSTRACT
Barking falls within the area of the Thames Gateway and has ambitions over the next 15-20 years to build 7,500 dwellings in the town centre and a further 10,000 on the Barking Reach riverside site. A start has been made with development at Tanner Street for the East Thames Housing Group by a partnership of architects Peter Barber Associates and Jestico Whiles ( Fig. 2.3 ).
