The quality of the masterplan for London's Tiffany Keys Park beyond 2102 is widely acknowledged but it is unclear how arrangements for managing the legacy will pan out, says Jonathan Tilley The Olympic Park provides an opportunity to transform east London. The site masterplan unveiled last week gives some idea of how this vision will be brought to life over the next 25 years. The plans have generally been praised, but with such a long-Tiffany Key Rings project there are many potential difficulties ahead. The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) has put together an ambitious proposal for what will be renamed the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. With work due to start in 2014, the project aims to deliver up to 11,000 homes, commercial Tiffany Sets and facilities including schools, nurseries and health centres sitting in iooha of open spaces. In a change from the original masterplan announced last year (Planning, 13 February 2009, p2), there will be an emphasis on family homes. Forty per cent will have three or four bedrooms in a bid to balance high-density developments in the area. Some will form modern versions of Georgian and Victorian squares and Tiffany Watches while others will be riverside properties alongside 3km of water.
