Hackney has the largest expanse of green space (815 acres) within inner city London but can we take this as a symbol for how green the borough is in general? Hackney, just one of 32 boroughs in London, offers a valuable snapshot of urban sustainability at a more local level. This exhibition looks at actions being taken by local stakeholders to make Hackney more sustainable for today and into the future.
