The Atlas describes the possible geography of urban change and regeneration along the Crossrail route. At the scale of the Crossrail route as a whole, it includes a series of analytical drawings - mapping a range of indices relating to deprivation and land availability / market opportunity - which underpin an analysis of priority locations for public sector intervention.
At the scale of the individual stations, the document draws together comparative GIS-based mapping and other information about the urban context and potential for change around each of the stations. Extracts of relevant proposals and borough policies are re-presented at the same scale to allow cross- referencing and comparison.
By collecting together salient information within a single study, the Atlas provided a clear hierarchy of places where intervention by Mayor of London would maximise the regeneration impacts of Crossrail.
