We have been working in the central London area of Pentonville, where two fundamental urban spatial concepts intersect: that of the knowledge neighbourhood and the corridor. King’s Cross is a rapidly growing centre of media and technology companies. The adjacent area, Pentonville, is home to housing estates that reflect outdated attitudes to urban living. Our challenge is to enable the inevitable estate regeneration and urban development to focus on values of inclusivity, broad participation, and social sustainability. The concept of the corridor is evolving through engagement with the challenges of the wider urban area and therefore we must reconsider the role of a corridor in today’s changing mobility patterns especially as the reason that technology companies ‘cluster’ is partly due to the contemporary importance of speed, accessibility, diversity, and synergy across business networks. These same values also apply to the way we might assess the distribution of qualities and services within a neighbourhood, in order to conceptualize a knowledge neighbourhood which links residential environments, services, amenities, and business clusters. This requires us to reconsider the role of the housing estate and the potential value capture in a post-covid environment where mutual benefit, patterns of living and working, diversity and ‘hyperlocalism’ are accelerated.
