Abstract

The article informs that London, England's Millennium Dome on the Greenwich peninsula is the home for Great Britain's most important millennium festival. It is intended to demonstrate to the world the country's creativity and ingenuity. During its construction the Dome was described as the largest development project in Europe. However, despite its importance, it has been built as an isolated project, divorced from any strategic planning context. As this article will show, this lack of contextual thinking led to considerable difficulties and lost opportunities.
