CMA Planning
The Hackney Wick Fish Island Retrospective Masterplan Team, which includes CMA Planning have won an award at the Planning Awards. This evolving research project concentrating on lessons learned from building a new piece of city won the category of Excellence in Placemaking at High Densities. The approach in Hackney Wick and Fish Island is different from a masterplan, and instead marks a return to principled city building. Owners and occupiers work closely with authorities to successfully steer change in a place which is not in single ownership. This experience highlights the importance of knowing and understanding the particular qualities that contribute to character of a place and the features valued by those that live and work there. This provides the basis for successful placemaking.
