Last updated 17th Feb 2022
Councillors in Derby have revealed regeneration plans for the city centre.
They’ve appointed real estate company Avison Young to work on projects including schemes for the Market Place, and on Derby’s cultural background.
Chris Poulter from the City Council's told us about their contractors' vision for the future.
The plans aim to reinforce the city’s bid to become City of Culture 2025 after it was named on the long-list of entrants through to the next round.
Laura Loftus, director at Avison Young, said:
“There is huge impetus from Derby City Council and partners to transform Derby city centre with ambition, drive and determination, ultimately driving positive change in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Cultural Heart is just the start of a longer journey, but demonstrates the scale of plans and the potential for the city. In realising this potential, we can not only increase the vibrancy of the area, but leverage further investment opportunities in the City and East Midlands region."
