Had to Google for that one:

The land bank for Stratford City was assembled by private developers and the LDA negotiated buy-out packages with most (I don't think all, but I'm not sure) of the businesses located within the zone. I don't think CPOs were used for any of that; from memory, the businesses hired good lawyers who defended their interests. I followed the transport picture more closely.
