Public Realm Strategy
The city has been transformed with the city's streets and spaces having a facelift through the implementation of regeneration initiatives. The key features have included opening up city streets and using high quality materials. The work has resulted in improved economic activity that ranges from cafes in Market Street to retail at Highcross.
These initiatives for public realm improvements have taken place across the city centre - the areas include; Curve within the Cultural Quarter, Colton Square and the retail circuit.
