Exploring Deptford Market Yard at the IHBC day conference

The Ash Sakula team were all in attendance at this year's IHBC London chapter conference, which explored whether gentrification is an inevitable consequence of regenerating historic areas, particularly in light of the Government’s 'Levelling Up' agenda. Robert spoke on Deptford Market Yard, highlighting how it balances heritage conservation with community needs. The day examined the origins of gentrification in London and discussed responses at both national and local levels. Through case studies from across England, Robert and other industry experts explored how initiatives like Deptford Market Yard are protecting local heritage while still fostering economic growth.
