We take you behind the scenes of one of London’s most iconic sites—Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. 

Join us as we walk with architects Simon and April from Henley Halebrown, along with Tom from Grow Places, to discuss the ambitious redevelopment of Block J known as the Banglatown Cash and Carry site. This project is more than just a facelift; it’s about supporting a vibrant, inclusive community that honours the past while looking boldly into the future.

Here’s what you’ll discover:
- 🌍 How we’re transforming a single storey poor quality building into a purpose built building for various uses including affordable family homes and community spaces. Oh and don't forget a new home for the Cash and Carry.
- 🏠 The vision behind integrating new homes, affordable housing, and workspace into this culturally rich area..
- 💡 Insights into the challenges and opportunities of urban development that respects both history and community needs.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about urban development, sustainable design, and the power of community-focused architecture.
