Urban Rewilding explores the role of listed buildings in South East London while envisioning processes of urban regeneration. The project addresses potential uses for the Gasholder No. 13, a listed former gasworks site on Old Kent Road. Drawing from Southwark Council Area Action Plan to turn the structure into a park, the project resulted in a landscape-design proposal aimed at turning the Gasholder into a vertical garden, by acting on locals’ needs and creativity. This is in order to explore and thrive on people’s perceptions about urban regeneration and listed buildings, by creating a natural-beneficial process that allows change to happen whilst giving community control.
