The Project Timeline

Durham City Vision Timeline. Here you can view some of the key priority projects, and expected timelines for work to be carried out.

 

This Durham City Vision is an aspirational exploration of the regeneration potential of the City centre.  As such it is rooted in consideration of deliverability and viability, but investigates a range of ideas and strategies for the City centre that are not constrained by what is possible today.  It seeks to make physical changes to the fabric of the City centre, its places, spaces, buildings and activities, but also seeks to improve the economic and social culture of the City and the relationships between its people and its places.
