Throughout its history the area of London now called Docklands has been the subject of many economic and political disputes. Its urban landscape constitutes, and has constituted over time, the epiphenomenon of such disputes. On the one hand, companies look for strategic spaces and invest in technology to become more productive and competitive. On the other hand, governments, institutions, parties and political associations define their actions in favor of different city projects, which in turn are based on two opposing ideological axes: economic liberalism, on the right, and labor communitarianism, on the left. The two political lines, represented by the Labor and Conservative parties, alternated in power. In this process, both political groups were forced to yield when confronted with the consequences of their own ideologically oriented actions.
