How about just making it a good old fashioned nature park? Vegas and Dubai are plenty enough for building extravagant vanity projects.

And if the private owner of the space cannot extract value from it without degrading the quality of life of the surrounding area's residents, maybe there should be laws to give it back to the public. This would also tackle "investors" that buy cheap properties amass and leave them to rot, until they can make enough profit from gentrification.

Let me clear, as a local to Stratford (not within direct line of sight to where this would be though), I don't particularly support this project. But, there's already a fair amount of green space around the Olympic park.
