ABSTRACT
… for all the changes, the overriding conclusion is that there has been a remarkable consistency in the underlying processes … In pursuit of profits, investors have come and gone in the past, and now they are coming back again. Historically, what is happening now is not so new… Each new application and new agency to steer development looks unique but they are themselves part of deep-flowing processes. In Docklands everything changes, yet everything stays the same. (Hardy 1983a:22)
