- A Culture House with a new city library and hub for creativity, making and learning
- Beautiful parks and open spaces with new river crossings for walkers and cyclists
A number of key projects are underway:
- A stunning new City Hall is open
- The Auditorium, a 450-seat performing arts venue in the Fire Station complex is open
- Legal & General have submitted plans for two new flagship office buildings, part of their £100 million investment
