The excellent transport links and bustling bar and restaurant culture has helped to maintain the popularity of Shoreditch with a variety of occupiers. The area is home to the third largest cluster of technology companies in the world and is regarded as Europe's leading technology centre, now named the 'East London Tech City'. This reputation has established Shoreditch as the primary location in London for technology and media occupiers, creating a thriving environment for innovation and entrepreneurialism, resulting in Shoreditch becoming one of London's strongest performing submarkets. Shoreditch has beneted from extensive levels of development and regeneration over the past decade due to high levels of capital investment. The Old Street roundabout is currently undergoing a multi-million pound regeneration. The development, called ‘Silicon Roundabout, has received support and funding from local authorities and central government, with completion due in October 2020. Major occupiers in the area include: Google, McDonalds Europe Ltd, Aviva, Adobe, Vice and Immarsat. Most recently Amazon has moved its headquarters to Shoreditch, bringing over 5,000 employee's to the area. T T • Situation • Tagwright House is located on the junction of Westland Place and Nile Street. City Road is located immediately to the south of the property which links to Old Street roundabout to the south east and Angel and Kings Cross to the north-west. The immediate area is dominated by mixed use buildings and new build residential blocks. There are a large number of bars, restaurants and hotels within the vicinity and multiple gym and yoga studios within a 10-minute walk of the property. • Connectivity • Tagwright House benets from excellent connectivity being located a short 7-minute walk from Old Street Underground/Overground station and within easy walking distance of Shoreditch High Street Overground station. Old Street station provides direct connections to Kings Cross St Pancras, The City (Moorgate and Bank) and London Bridge via the Northern Line. There are also multiple bus routes in the area leading to The City and Liverpool Street to the south, and Kings Cross to the north-west along City Road. Old Street roundabout is currently undergoing an extensive regeneration project to improve trafc ows and create further public realm areas. The regeneration project, known as ‘Silicon Roundabout’, will include new entrances to the Underground station, improved 24-hour bus lanes, segregated cycle lanes with separate signals and new public space with potential for retail units. The improved pedestrianisation will further increase accessibility to the Underground station from City Road and Tagwright House. The development will help further boost the area as the technology centre for Europe and act as the gateway to the East London Tech City. Crossrail (The Elizabeth Line) is Europe's largest infrastructure project and will transform London's transport network when it opens, from December 2020, bringing an extra 1.5 million people within a 45 minute journey of Central London.

[email protected] Abstract We explore place branding as an economic development strategy for technology clusters, using London’s ‘Tech City’ initiative as a case study. We site place branding in a larger family of policies that develop spatial imaginaries, and specify affordances and constraints on place brands and brand-led strategies. Using mixed methods over a long timeframe, we analyse Tech City’s emergence and the overlapping, competing narratives that preceded and succeeded it, highlighting day-to-day challenges and more basic tensions. While a strong brand has developed, we cast doubt on claims that policy has had a catalytic effect, at least in the ways originally intended.

    1 12 FEBRUARY 2018 James Pickard Vauxhall Station Old Street Roundabout 2 Background • Old Street roundabout is a complex multiple lane roundabout, linking the A5201 Old Street and the A501 City Road. • The roundabout is located within the London Borough of Islington, however the area immediately to the east falls within the London Borough of Hackney. • The Old Street area as a whole suffers from a lack of open green space, as identified in the London Borough of Islington’s Opportunity Area Planning Framework. 3 Background • The proposed layout will contribute towards significant economic opportunities and the Gateway to ‘Tech City’ and supporting economic growth in the area. • The scheme will help deliver the Mayor’s Transport Strategy commitment of providing Healthy Streets by helping to encourage Londoners to walk, cycle and use public transport. • Our Principal Contractor, Morgan Sindall will carry out the works with close supervision from TfL. 4 Public Consultation • We consulted on the scheme in early 2015. • 87 per cent of respondents felt the proposed changes would improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. • 63 per cent of respondents felt the scheme would improve conditions for bus and tube passengers. • There were a wide a range of written comments, including a number of different suggestions for what use we might make of a new peninsula space that would be created. 5 Transformation 6 Proposed Scheme • Remove the existing roundabout and close the northwest arm to create a new public space. • Switch road traffic movements to two-way operation. • Improve facilities for cyclists travelling through the junction with segregated cycle lanes and safe traffic signal controlled crossings at surface level.

  • Does Light Touch Cluster Policy Work? Evaluating the Tech City Programme
    ISSN 2042-2695 CEP Discussion Paper No 1648 August 2019 Does Light Touch Cluster Policy Work? Evaluating the Tech City Programme Max Nathan Abstract Despite academic scepticism, cluster policies remain popular with policymakers. This paper evaluates the causal impact of a flagship UK technology cluster programme. I build a simple framework and identify effects using difference-in-differences and synthetic controls on rich microdata. I further test for timing, cross-space variation, scaling and churn channels. The policy grew and densified the cluster, but has had more mixed effects on tech firm productivity. I also find most policy ‘effects’ began before rollout, raising questions about the programme’s added value. Key words: cities, clusters, technology, economic development, synthetic controls JEL Codes: L53; L86; O31; R30; R50 This paper was produced as part of the Centre’s Urban and Spatial Programme.
