This next hour is dedicated to a single project recorded and produced by Lucia Scazzocchio in collaboration with the Tower Hamlets Regeneration team.  Docklands and the Isle of Dogs has changed dramatically since being established as a busy industrial hub centred around the docks to an industrial wasteland in the 1980's and then an ambitious redevelopment with the arrival of Canary Wharf.  The DLR and the infrastructure around this overground railway line has been key to the development of the area.Talking to local people who live and work on the Isle of Dogs across four generations we will hear about the unique history of the island, how things have changed and how the DLR Underline could be used in the future.Commissioned by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets as part of the ‘DLR Underline Activation’ project, this audio series recorded from Sept 21-May 22 aims to celebrate the area’s heritage to collectively reimagine the future of the Underline as a public active space.Thank you to everyone who contributed their words and insights with special thanks to Cubitt Library and the Friends of Island History Trust.Recording and Sound Design: Lucia ScazzocchioRecording Assistant: Dhevia Sharma
