The radical shifts in our economic patterns and technological advancements coupled with environmental concerns pose a great challenge regarding the future of town-centres with centralized concentrated zones expected to deliver leisure, cultural and economic opportunities. How can an additional network of distributed services and utilities embedded in our largely residential environments foster a more inclusive, innovative, and resilient area-based economy? Small is Big, calls for a new approach to regenerate inner-periphery town centres of London by densifying and intensifying a diverse portfolio of small sites beyond the current boundaries of high-streets. The occurrence of repeatable site conditions in London’s urban fabric suggests the exploration of a prototypical approach in testing the scope and limits of small plots across two scales- local impact and strategic area regeneration. The intent of this research is to establish key propositions across scales of procurement, classified use order, design, and governance to cultivate viable capacities in small developments.
