Part 1 Project 2017

As the country stands divided, now more than ever, civic space for debate is needed. It is time to assemble!

Silveropolis strives to politically empower people, providing a place to break from the bubble of newspapers and social media, to partake in civic activity.

In a Post-Brexit climate, new money flooding into the docklands will allow Silvertown to tap into the political energy of their past to determine its future.
