Online
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has a dedicated part of its website that is regularly updated over each stage of consultation. This ensures people are kept informed about the development of the project, opportunities to get involved and materials used at the events can be accessed online.

In November 2015 over 24,000 flyers were distributed across households and businesses surrounding the Park. These flyers contained details on the project and informed people of the upcoming neighbourhood pop-up events happening in local venues. These events also allowed people to register their interest in the project and join the consultation mailing list.
Letters and emails
In mid-December 2015 approximately 200 letters and emails were sent out to local stakeholders and groups, informing them about Flyer distribution map the project and inviting them to a Stakeholder Workshop in January which signalled the close STRATFORD of stage one. The flyer was also emailed out to WATERFRONT local networks promoting the events. IN QUEEN ELIZABETH OLYMPIC PARK

3.5 ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
Stakeholder Workshop
The Stakeholder Workshop was an invited event that brought together the design team, partner institutions, wider project team and local stakeholders. The event not only formally introduced the project but provided opportunity to present headline findings from the stage one neighbourhood pop-up events.
The workshop started with a series of short presentations from the partner institutions, explaining their rationale and aspirations for Stratford Waterfront. This was followed by an overview of the site constraints and opportunities, as well as the initial masterplan principles, by Allies and Morrison.
A brief overview of the emerging headlines collected earlier in stage one fed into round- table discussions which were facilitated by design team members. The worksheet focused on key areas to guide discussion, including:
• Public spaces and the different type of activities they should encourage and support Round-table discussions from the stakeholder workshop
• Internal and external features of buildings Event details and the qualities each institution could share Wednesday 13 January 2016, 6.00pm – 8.30pm, The Podium. • Creating an accessible design with physical and social connectivity with the wider area Around 90 people attended including local stakeholders and representatives from the Discussions varied between tables and key partner institutions, completing worksheets priorities were fed back to the whole group at from across 10 tables. the end of the session.

37 Youth engagement
The strategic objectives for Stratford Waterfront include creating opportunities for sporting, cultural and civic participation and enhancing education and skills attainment levels. Key to achieving these aims is continued youth engagement and a particular strand of the consultation process aims to involve young people through appropriate and engaging methods.
In stage one the Legacy Youth Voice group has been involved as an existing LLDC panel group of young east Londoners, working alongside the team delivering Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Formed four years prior to the London Legacy Youth Voice Planning and Design Focus Group 2012 Games, the project harnesses young workshop people’s interest and enthusiasm, and enables
them to make a valuable contribution to the STRATFORD WATERFRONT MASTERPLAN regeneration of east London. LEGACY YOUTH VOICE W ORKSHOP | 16 DECEMBER 2015

Workshop
This session signalled the first event for the newly formed focus group and gave the young members the opportunity to learn about the project and its consultation process, discuss different aspects of the masterplan with design team members and have a tour of the Allies and Morrison studios in Southwark.
A brief introductory presentation was followed by a round-table discussion which worked through several aspects of Stratford Waterfront and the emerging draft masterplan. Having recorded these discussions on pinned-up worksheets, at the end of the session key themes were identified that the focus group would like to specifically work on in future sessions.

UAL’s London College of Fashion invited the consultation team to a guided tour of their John Prince’s Street campus and to attend their All Staff Meeting. These meetings happen twice a year and in this case provided the opportunity to inform the college’s staff about the masterplan, the consultation process and stage one events to date. Following the meeting staff were able to ask questions and discuss different aspects of Stratford Waterfront and the masterplan principles in an informal and open setting.

Local attendance mapping
In order to further understand the variation of responses the questionnaire asked people to leave their postcodes, in order to reflect geographical distribution of respondents and help assess whether any areas were being under-represented. From this record, a postcodes map has been produced and will be used to inform aspects of the stage two consultation process. The map can be seen to the right.
Future engagement A map showing the distribution of postcodes recorded
The consultation tools used in stage two will be developed based on the successes and lessons learnt in stage one.
The locations used for the community pop-ups managed to reach a good variation of local stakeholders from around the Park.
Building on the work undertaken in stage one, stage two will seek to understand the variation of local people engaged by recording more detailed demographic data through gender, age and ethnicity observations.

Stakeholder workshop top priorities
At the stakeholder workshop, we also gave people the opportunity to share their top three priorities for the redevelopment of Stratford Waterfront. The number of comments made are recorded in the graph below.
Consistent with the pop-up events, the quality of the open spaces is a clear priority for people. Most importantly, spaces should be inclusive and welcoming, and offer a wide variety of uses for the whole community. The openness and activity of the new buildings was a priority for five of the groups. Three groups also felt that the site should be well-managed, safe and secure.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the consultation process is intended to be open and accessible across the whole time frame of the masterplan’s development. Feedback and comments collected will inform the design process at several key junctures, with findings frequently reviewed in order to build a masterplan that is responsive to the views of local people and stakeholders.
The first stage of consultation has provided a sound base on which to develop the draft masterplan for stage two. Stage one has formed a valuable understanding of key issues, aspirations and concerns of local people, A design team member during a workshop session whilst gaining some feedback on the initial design principles, which will be developed to help construct the masterplan priorities and principles. As the scheme develops, future reports will document the masterplan development alongside the feedback received, in order to demonstrate, where possible, how the design has been informed by the consultation process.

Olympicopolis will bring together some of the world’s leading organisations to showcase art, dance, history, Stratford Waterfront fashion, education, craft, science, technology and cutting edge design. Areas of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will be transformed into a cultural and education district, leading the way for regeneration and growth in east London.
The London Legacy Development Corporation is working in partnership to produce masterplans for both Olympicopolis sites, with LDA Design leading plans for UCL East and Allies and Morrison designing Stratford Waterfront.
Masterplans for both sites will be developed UCL East during 2015 and 2016, with planning applications to be submitted later in 2016.
The project will be split across two sites:
STRATFORD WATERFRONT
Close to the London Aquatics Centre, Stratford Waterfront will include a new UAL (University of the Arts London) campus for London College of Fashion, as well as a 600-seat theatre for Sadler’s Wells and a new museum created by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A).
UCL EAST
UCL East will be a new university campus for UCL (University College London) to the south of the ArcelorMittal Orbit. It is envisaged as a radical new model of how a university campus can be embedded in the local community and with businesses, as well as providing world-leading research, education, entrepreneurship and innovation.
