Growth Area 3: Southern Gateway
By 2050, the Southern Gateway will exemplify sustainable regeneration, delivering a thriving economy at the heart of a district-wide innovation ecosystem.
It will be a diverse integration of business and commerce, jobs for a highly skilled labour force, a place for the rapid growth of knowledge-intensive industries and their supply chains, and education and research facilities.
This will be a beautiful place to live. The built environment for 2,500 new homes will be structured around retaining existing valued heritage assets within a sustainable bio-diverse urban landscape.
Placemaking will drive the quality standards expected for the built environment to be the powerhouse for growth, and infrastructure-first will create a low-carbon environment where health and well-being are paramount.
