London doesn’t need more green space. 38% of the capital is already green or open space. Might London’s canals help to curate existing forgotten or underused green spaces, kickstarting re-generation in their wake. The city’s canals have lost their original purpose. Built for work they used to carry materials across the length and breadth of London to places of industry. This purpose is largely defunct with the canal being now a place of leisure rather than a place of commerce.
