Will the 2012 Olympics-led regeneration of east London be a success? | Society | The Guardian: "Mawson asked: 'Will today's public sector bodies leave us with another Dagenham on our doorstep for future generations? If so, a historic opportunity will have been missed, and east London will be destined to another 100 years of relative poverty and deprivation.'
He described the current regeneration structures in east London as 'a mess', and called for decision making to be simplified. 'Real opportunities for a deep and sustainable legacy in the Lower Lea Valley [adjacent to the Olympic site] are being sliced away and lost,' he said.
The founder of the Bromley-by-Bow health centre, Mawson is a founding member of Poplar Harca - a locally run housing company that is putting together a £1bn capital development next to the Olympic site - and a founder of Leaside, a regeneration firm based in the East End."
