<p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">Hackney Wick was a town where daytime factory workers met artists going home in the evening at bus stops.

Once home to dogs and foxes as pets, Hackney Wick became one of the recent targets of urban regeneration after the opening of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/11/1/1672072590463.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.00" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></p><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Oslo House's inhabitant: Meriç&nbsp;</em></h4><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">Tagged closed shutters have become real estate agents, and photos of houses sold for 500-600-700 thousand £ are on display.

We talked to Meriç (Canatan) about the gentrification process of Hackney Wick (Wick, as the locals call it), where factories smoke during the day and the canal-side fire smokes at night, and the transformation of collective production from warehouses into streets and showcases.
