The Green Grid vision for East Central London includes many riverbank sites as well as introducing green spaces throughout the area to promote healthy living, green skills, and sustainable food production, while boosting the local economy through tourism. In practical terms this could include, tree lined streets, greenway access for cyclists and pedestrians, enhancement and expansion of existing green spaces, and the creation of riverine habitats by the Thames. Key projects are planned specifically at the Barbican, Finsbury Circus
