The Dome has been instrumental in focusing regeneration activity on the Greenwich Peninsula and the Thames Gateway, and this is set to continue as a result of the response to this competition.

English Partnerships, the Government's regeneration agency, has transformed one of the largest tracts of derelict land in Europe on the Greenwich Peninsula. The proposals emerging from this competition, together with other developments on the Peninsula and key public transport improvements, will take forward the major regeneration of this area. Further details of the shortlist of proposals are in the Libraries of the House.
