Big City Plan
The Big City Plan is the most ambitious, far-reaching development project in the UK. It seeks to define how more than 800 hectares of land in the city centre will be developed and used for generations to come.
Stage Two of the plan also highlights individual projects, schemes and infrastructure which it plans to develop and defines specialist quarters/ areas where particular types of investment and development will be encouraged.
The aim is to transform the city centre by growing its central core by 25%, improving its connectivity, strengthening its authentic character and diversifying its economic base. The masterplan sets out the vision for the improvement of the city centre over the next 20 years.
