Stratford will be the location of the future Stratford International station and in 2012 the location of the main Olympic Park. Stratford has been a focus of regeneration for some years and as of 2006 the 73 hectare brownfield railway lands to the north of the town centre as far as TempleMills are to be redeveloped in a multi-billion pound scheme called StratfordCity.
This will form a new purpose-built community of 5,000 homes, offices, retail spaces, schools, public spaces, municipal and other facilities. It is hoped that this will become a major metropolitan centre for East London. Part of StratfordCity will serve as the Olympic Village.
