Project description
The South Acton Urban Design Framework (UDF) outlines five
phases of regeneration geared to reknit the South Acton Estate into
the wider geography of Ealing Borough, a vision for which SARAG campaigned
intensively. The UDF has been prepared by two teams of architects employed
by Ealing Council. Meanwhile, SARAG has sought to bring a community
perspective to the process, working with a number of agencies. These
include English Heritage, Glass-House Trust & Architecture Foundation
and the University of Westminster - all sharing SARAG's expectations
towards the future design, spatial organisation and potential of the
estate in social and cultural terms. An artist will join this partnership
and work with SARAG and the council's principal regeneration contractors
Wates and Catalyst Housing Group.
