    FACEBOOK Blah blah Messages etc.. ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS CHARTS The chart in this document is collated daily by us as part of our commitment to ensure the marketing we conduct at our schemes is as social as it is effective for both the centres and their tenants. The statistics represent independent figures provided by Facebook and is based on the algorithms they run evaluating the relative performance of Pages and Posts relative to ‘Engagement’, measuring reactions, comments and shares. Messages PR harvest figures for 240 UK Shopping Centres and present them in a tabular form. We display the results in relative terms, which allows us to judge the performance of Pages when comparing the size of schemes and the number of ‘Page likes’ they enjoy. We also show the absolute positions where more Page likes, bigger budgets and boosts all work to generate increased engagement. Messages PR deliver astonishing results, regardless of how they are measured. In this vital Christmas sales period, our centres were placed within 10 of the top 20 places in relative terms and occupied the entire top 7. Even in absolute terms we placed 4 schemes in the top 10 UK Centre pages. Pentagon, Chatham was also number one in absolute terms, the best performing UK Shopping Scheme on Facebook, outperforming the mega centre Bluewater. Similarly Parkway in Middlesbrough outperformed The Metro Centre and Grays outperformed intu Lakeside by significant margins as you can see from the charts. We do not achieve these results by clever tweaking of posts, giveaways or boosts – It is because the work we undertake is genuinely social that we generate extraordinary results on social media.

Cover image © Simon Dewhurst for Victoria Leeds CONTENT FOREWORD 04 01 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 05 02 INTRODUCTION 09 03 OUR CHALLENGES 24 04 OUR PRINCIPLES 38 05 TRANSFORMING OUR CITY 47 06 CONCLUSION 77 Published March 2020 In collaboration with: 03 FOREWORD | LEEDS OUR SPACES STRATEGY FOREWORD Our city centre is changing rapidly and the Our Spaces Strategy is vital to support the Council and stakeholders in transforming the quality and quantity of the city’s public realm. The Our Spaces Strategy is much more than a public realm-focussed project however. It is a call to action to ensure that the creation of green infrastructure is at the forefront of all new development proposals being brought forward. In doing so it supports our ambition to become carbon neutral by 2030; to improve the lives of our citizens by improving air quality, providing spaces to relax and safe places to walk and cycle; and improve the environment for our wildlife by increasing biodiversity. It is a catalyst for sustainable regeneration, inclusive growth and city resilience. It takes account of the changing needs of the city centre, recognising that more people will be living there in the future, and their requirements, from the youngest children to the oldest people, need to be considered in our spaces. It is a route map to ensure that the delivery of new and improved public realm meets our vision for the creation of world-class, inclusive and vibrant spaces that can improve the health and well-being of our city centre and all the people who use it.
