The predominant public art regenerative outcome is a developed infrastructure of new contemporary and classic public art installations with rich, qualititative public spaces juxtaposed within a structural framework of proposed urban blocks. The SDA’s are strategically linked with the addition of several walking trails which lead visitors around the city centre whilst the existing qualities have been capitalised upon, such as the waterfront, culture and retail experiences with new shopping outlets, leisure and entertainment uses and community facilities. The developments in conjunction celebrate Hull’s sense of place and define it as a unique place.
