London Docklands Development Corporation
In 1981 Margaret Thatcher's government founded the London Docklands Development Corporation. Its purpose was the revitalisation of some 2100ha of docks (8 sq. mi).
The first large-scale private development plan, the Canary Wharf Project, was launched in the mid-1980s. The Canadian developer Olympia & York bought the project and started construction in 1988 of what would become the heart of the Docklands redevelopment.

Canary Wharf Tower
Canary Wharf Tower
The first office tower, Canary Wharf Tower, was built in 1990. At 800ft (243m) the pyramid-topped steel tower was the tallest building in Europe until the completion of the Messeturm inFrankfurt, Germany that same year.
Many more office towers were planned but British corporations were reluctant to relocate to the remote site. Despite a promise by Margaret Thatcher, there was no underground connection and the site lacked shopping areas and restaurants.
To make matters worse, in 1992 a recession caused the property market to collapse. The developer went into bankruptcy and the whole project seemed to be an enormous failure.(canary wharf site)
