THE VISION
To define the vision for City Waterside the partners commissioned EDAW to produce an area masterplan. This will ensure the whole area is developed in a sustainable, harmonious way over the next 10 years. The masterplan makes recommendations for the development of housing, a new local centre, public space and transport.

HOUSING
There is already a well laid out ‘grid’ of terraced housing and community buildings immediately to the north and south west of City Waterside. read housing

ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

LOCAL CENTRE
