Overview
The aim of this redevelopment is to bring new life to
the area. Currently, there is a big shopping centre there
(intu Victoria) which recently filed to administration. The
proposed redevelopment is influenced by the new lifestyle
adopted by people as well as the lack of essential meeting
spaces in Nottingham’s city centre.
Objective
The goal is to redirect the main flow of people towards the
core of the site. The whole area will be pedestrianized and
only bikes would be able to transit via cycle routes. This will
encourage people to come by foot or public transport,
therefore, improving the quality of the air in the city centre.
Building typologies
The North side is proposed to be residential. The rest
of the blocks will be mixed-used with shops and cafes
on the ground floors. Thus, the city centre would be
expanded; there will be more space for free movement,
more opportunities and places to visit, so the pedestrians’
experience would be enriched.
