Zones
The project creates three distinct but interlinked zones [1]- the Retail/Leisure Quarter, on the council-owned 12.5-acre (51,000 m2) old livestock market;[2] the Civic Quarter, to contain a mix of public buildings, private offices, shops and restaurants; and the new Blackfriars Urban Village, where around 800 new homes will be built.[3] A centrepiece to the regeneration will be a new canal basin at the end of the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal, which is currently undergoing restoration.
