South Bank is and will continue to be a mixed use area. This means that there will be a variety of uses for buildings and spaces. The plan proposes putting similar uses near to one another.

Proposed uses include

– office developments and workspaces to help deliver 35,000 jobs

– new homes – over 4,000 – with opportunities for people of all ages to live in the area. Houses for families will be an important consideration

– limiting retail as not to compete with existing retail centres. © Jerry Hardman-Jones Main piazza, looking towards the Verona tower © Carillion, Jestico + Whiles South Bank will seek to encourage further growth of independent bars and restaurants What are your favourite heritage buildings in – ensuring a mix of users – from global to local businesses South Bank? – potential for more major leisure developments. @LeedsSouthBank #Southbankleeds www.southbankleeds.co.uk Heritage is a major part of South Bank with over 30 listed [email protected] buildings in the area.

A main priority is a proposal to deliver a large green city centre park. There are three @LeedsSouthBank #Southbankleeds www.southbankleeds.co.uk concepts being considered for this. We [email protected] would like your ideas for the park and views on which concept should be taken forward. ©Gehl Architects CITY PARK OPTIONS There are also six new public spaces proposed and we would like to know more Three different concepts have been developed for a central area of open space in South Bank. All about the types of spaces you feel options share three common design elements: a direct connection to the River Aire; the inclusion of a South Bank should have. pedestrian bridge leading to Sovereign Square; and clear access to the southern concourse of the HS2 station. The options will also be fully compatible with the Arbor, the proposed east/west green axis.

Option 1

A large single piece of open space, able How do you think the new to accommodate larger events as well as TETLEY public spaces should be used everyday uses. Its proportions allow uses and and how should they look? activities to be highly flexible. It is situated

Consists of a series of smaller, more intimate pieces of open space connected TETLEY by a central green spine. A larger degree of variety offers distinctiveness and individuality to adjacent developments. Place des Vosges, Paris ©ParisSharing, Flickr, CC

Option 3

Stretches a single piece of open space between the river and Hunslet Road. It creates a clear movement corridor from the TETLEY river to the education precinct and Leeds Building College. Superkilen, Copenhagen ©Orf3us, Wikipedia Commons, CC
