Docklands - a private city? (London, England's wharf district)

London's 8.5-square mile Docklands area was created in the mid-19th century as a result of Parliament's desire to create a shipping trade center. More than 10,000 people who lived near the docks were displaced in the rush to develop the wharf region.
