Futurecity is happy to be part of the winning team for the Wakefield city centre masterplan contest together with Farrells, Aspinall Verdi, PJA, and UK Networks.

The project aims to enhance the ‘historic character and sense of local distinctiveness’ within Wakefield, while also delivering ‘vibrant’ mixed-use developments and housing.

Key areas to be covered by the masterplan will include land use, movement, green infrastructure, urban design, and overall development strategy. The core area focuses on land immediately surrounding the cathedral, while the wider study area stretches out to the city’s ‘Emerald Ring’ green walking route.
