The London Docklands underwent significant change primarily due to the decline of traditional shipping activities and the rise of containerization, which made older docks obsolete. Additionally, economic shifts in the late 20th century led to the relocation of shipping operations to larger ports, resulting in urban decay in the area. In response, extensive regeneration projects began in the 1980s, transforming the docklands into a vibrant commercial and residential area, notably with the development of Canary Wharf. This revitalization aimed to attract businesses and investment, ultimately reshaping the economic landscape of East London.
