Castlegate, Sheffield (urban design guide)

Volunteer project assisting the Urban Design and Conservation team at Sheffield City Council.


























Project Outline
Sheffield’s municipal market is being relocated, and when the 1950s building is demolished it is expected that the ruins of a mediaeval castle will be revealed underneath. This will be the catalyst for regeneration of the area. Development options adjacent to the site were explored by thinning and re-arranging an under-used carridgeway. The aim is to create suitable development plots, public spaces, and to reinforce way-finding across the east/west axis between the city centre and Victoria Quays.
