It is also of a different order to any public realm project the City has undertaken in recent years. At its heart is a major highways scheme, but its key deliverable is transformational public realm improvement. Significant work has been undertaken to advance the project since Gateway 3, including extensive public consultation. The consultation results are positive, showing a high level of support for the scheme. Many of the technical issues identified at Gateway 3 have now been resolved or mitigated. There remains a considerable amount of work to be done, but a series of work-streams, all coordinated by a high-level project board, are being progressed. As the scheme design has progressed, the cost has risen. However, TfL has also increased its financial contribution to the scheme. Context Aldgate is one of the five Key City Places listed in the City‟s Core Strategy and Draft Local Plan.
