Forth Ports Building Proposal, Edinburgh, Scotland

Shipping Container Development Containersville - News Jan 2008 Forth Ports so-called eco-town built from shipping containers proposed for Leith Docks. Up to 300 live / work units located in 2 out of 9 ‘villages’. Charles Hammond, Forth Ports chief executive, was inspired by a visit to Container City in East London, home to 37 units. Containers would be cut out on one side and welded to another to allow for two-room units, with an office and living quarters. Envisaged as temporary bases for the ‘creative industries’ they might become permanent. Western Harbour Redevelopment Leith Docks Masterplan picture from the architect Scottish Architecture
