LONDON, November 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Registration is now open to find new design ideas for London's Royal Docks. The Landscape Institute and Ecobuild, with support from the Mayor of London and London Borough of Newham, have launched 'The Royal Docks Ideas Competition' to find innovative design proposals that would transform the Royal Docks into a multi-functional, 'liveable' space. Comprised of three docks in East London - Royal Albert Dock, Royal Victoria Dock and King George V Dock - the Royal Docks is the largest enclosed docks in the world with a water area of nearly 90 hectares. The judging panel want entrants to incorporate green infrastructure and water sensitive design ideas into their proposals in an effort to make the area more resilient against environmental, social and economic challenges and to transform it into a world class location. The Mayor of London is preparing to seek a development partner to deliver a floating village at the western end of Royal Victoria Dock. At 4km, the Royal Docks are the length of Central Park, and offer almost 90 hectares of water space with enormous potential to be brought to life.
