One the south bank of the River Thames, Nine Elms, is one of Europe’s biggest regeneration zones. At the heart of this project is Battersea Power Station, a decommissioned coal-fired power station that is being transformed, by a Malaysian company, into a “new residential, cultural & business quarter” (Nine Elms on the South Bank, 2017). “In a triangle bordered by the river, Battersea Park and the main railway line into Waterloo, 20,000 homes are being built – most of them luxury apartments in a cluster of high-rise towers that has been dubbed mini-Manhattan or Dubai-on-Thames.’(Kollewe, 2017)”.
