The regeneration of Kings Cross is a transformational city planning initiative at an incredible and ambitious scale. What is often described as the largest urban regeneration project in Europe is a unique opportunity to make a new Quarter and European Gateway for London. Perhaps not since the construction of Kingsway and Aldwych at the turn of the 19th century and Broadgate in the 1980s has such a large inner city site offered the potential to create and redefine civic identity and celebrate London's destinational world status at the beginning of the 21st century.
