    The document summarizes the redevelopment of London Docklands. It describes how the Docklands area was once the principal hub of British seaborne trade in the 19th-20th centuries but became obsolete by the 1970s. To redevelop the depressed area, the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was established in 1981. The LDDC regenerated over 8.5 square miles by building new homes, offices, parks, and infrastructure like the Docklands Light Railway. The redevelopment created jobs, housing, and improved social services and the environment by adding trees and open spaces.
