- 4A.3C: Economic and social changes on London Docklands impacting identity
- Social
- Inward migration changing identity, residents now perhaps less likely to identify with their local area than they once had
- Perception of the Docklands as being regenerated/gentrified
- In Kelham there may be the perception of it as being 'trendy' or more 'youthful'
- Has become a residential area, people more likely to identify with the place as an area to actually live in
- Economic
- Many economic centrifugal forces changed the identity of the Docklands
- Globalisation + container revolution, led to many people finding work elsewhere + gentrification
- Employmen change- old economy to the new economy
- Development of Canary Wharf meant the area is more gentrified
- This had led to a more positive perception of the Docklands, attracting younger workers
- Kelham has moved away from its entirely industrial economy, it is more diverse now
- May mean people no longer see it as derelict, industrial site- there is more of an identity/attachment to create
- Many economic centrifugal forces changed the identity of the Docklands
- Identity refers to people's feelings and perceptions, and their shared beliefs, traditions and ways of life. It can create a sense of community and feeling part of a wider group of similar people.
- Identity may be impacted by whether people perceive they are living in an area with a positive or negative image
- Social
