new river crossings are, therefore, urgently needed

globally networked

we speak c. 200 languageswe are the world in one place



24/64

LONDON EAST

is also rich in green energy

tidal & wavewind & solarair, ground & water sourcewaste, biofuel & gas



25/64

LONDON EAST

all of this human & green energy

can be harnessed for good :

a strategy is needed



26/64

LONDON EAST can then become a

POWER HOUSEon the world stage



27/64

LONDON EAST Sir Terry Farrells blue & green

Parklands Study sets a context.

A major economic driver is needed

green energy river crossings

could be the catalyst



28/64

LONDON EAST

The River Thames divides

now it can unite & empower



29/64

LONDON EAST

River crossings are urgently needed

there are 27 in LONDON WEST LONDON EAST has 1



30/64

LONDON EAST

A new type of river crossing

is proposed :

urban & inhabited

Green energy oating bridges



31/64

LONDON EAST

They would be low bridges

with central openings

and side navigation



32/64

LONDON EAST Each bridge could be inhabited uses could include : residential

hotels

leisure & marinas

commercial

health carelaboratories



33/64


34/64

LONDON EAST



35/64

LONDON EAST

Each inhabited floating bridge

could become an energy POWER HOUSE

as part of one total strategy



36/64

LONDON EAST A Thames Tideway tunnel

is to be built to Abbey Mills & Beckton

as a conduit

that could be extended

BecktonSewage works

Abbey Mills



37/64

LONDON EAST

Resulting in an energy, transport

services & communicationsSPINE

from central London

to the estuary

BecktonSewage works



38/64

LONDON EAST An estuary airport

with a barrier & river crossingare being considered



39/64

LONDON EAST

We are proposing

8 other bridge locations

built incrementally



40/64

Gravesham + Tilbury Ebbsfleet + Tilbury

Purfleet + Dartford

Rainham + Erith

Other locations are possible



42/64

LONDON EAST The 1st green energy inhabited floating bridge could unite theNorth & South Circulars at

GALLIONS REACH

47/64

LONDON EAST

Each green inhabited bridge

could be part of a network

for other creatures



48/64

LONDON EAST

River based transport

could link each bridge

as a HUB as part of one London

UK & continental system



49/64

LONDON EAST Each bridge would be a

Powerhouse

harnessing & distributing energy

tidal, wave, wind & solar

air, ground & water source

waste, bio-fuel & gas



50/64

LONDON EAST New developments could

access this systemexisting schemes could be

retro-fitted leading to a new

green energy based economy



51/64

LONDON EAST

The resultant skills & capabilities

could then be exported

to a global market place

as a major employment generator



52/64

This strategy could be led by

the private sector and

facilitated by the public sector

with voluntary sector engagement
