The stadium itself will cost £800 million, making it the most expensive private stadium under construction in Europe. But that's only part of how the northern London district is about to change.

With far better spatial planning (materplan by S333 Architecture and Arup), the new project will include up to 50% more public, open and green spaces, envisioning the creation of 630 jobs once delivered. During construction the project will need 6,000 hands for construction work.
