DEAR CANDIDATE, Thank you for your interest in this exciting opportunity. If you know anything about the history of Kings Cross, you will know that this site was a derelict and run down industrial area of London just a couple of decades ago. Since then, it has undergone one of the largest transformations of any London region in recent history, transformed and rejuvenated with new streets, squares and parks, homes, shops, offices, galleries, bars, restaurants, schools, and even a university. Twenty years ago, Argent published its Principles for a Human City about King’s Cross. This landmark document set out some of the values that have underpinned the design, development and management of King’s Cross ever since. These principles – including the creation of a robust urban framework and a lasting new place; promoting accessibility; harnessing the value of heritage, a vibrant mix of uses; and committing to long-term success – are as important and relevant today as they were then. King’s Cross is now London’s boldest neighbourhood - a destination for independently minded people and innovative businesses.
