Conclusion Nine Elms on the South Bank is in the central city. It should be recognised, promoted, managed and delivered as such; Vauxhall is a destination as well as a pass through Interchange, given the jobs, residents and passengers that arrive and will work here it is a key point of arrival and a gateway for the wider area, particularly before the Northern Line Extension is delivered; Gateways are key points of arrival, first impression and sales. The design and experience of stations, bridges and highways should be of a world class central city business district standard; The river path is key. It will become a major pedestrian thoroughfare for residents, workers and visitors, particularly with the creation of a new pedestrian bridge across the Thames; Organising to compete with single owner, single authority schemes in the CAZ will enable success
