Ebbsfleet Development Corporation
Ebbsfleet Development Corporation (EDC) was established by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government in April 2015 to drive delivery of a 21st Century Garden City in Ebbsfleet, North Kent. The EDC administrative boundary covers an area of 1026 hectares, within which the EDC are seeking to bring forward a series of large-scale developments including significant investment in infrastructure, utilities, highways, transportation, housing, commercial space, and new parks. EDC and its partners will use data from this Commonplace to help shape plans for the City.

Ebbsfleet Garden City
The first new Garden City in a hundred years and the first New Town in 50 years, Ebbsfleet is building on the legacy of Ebenezer Howard’s original Garden Cities, and learning from the challenges of existing New Towns, to create a place founded on quality placemaking developed with and for communities. Extensive local consultation and best practice research is informing how to create a great place to live and work. Engaging existing and new communities in the development journey is fundamental to how Ebbsfleet Garden City is evolving. Quality of civic life and place are considered equally important factors. More than just building the built environment, EDC wishes to develop new approaches to the design of public buildings and spaces through collaborative co-production processes with communities, stakeholders and specialist professionals. EDC believes that if buildings and spaces are collectively imagined and designed it will result in more accessible and well-connected places that attract people to regularly participate, interact, work and play.
