The Rendezvous
Studio C - Lancaster City Neiborhood Scale 1:500
Where is Lancaster
What is this area?
The city council is in the early stages of rethinking the scheme to redevelop the area east of the core city centre, previously known as Canal Corridor North, to bring forward a diverse range and mix of uses.
Ever since large-scale housing clearance in the mid-20th century, the Canal Quarter has become under-u�lised and isolated in terms of its role within the wider city centre. A�er many decades of false-starts the city council is now taking a more pro-ac�ve role in the future of the area.
My ambi�ous vision is for a vibrant, sustainable and ac�ve Canal Quarter, integrated with the Lancaster Canal and served by areas of new public open space. A Quarter where contemporary development and hidden heritage can combine to create a diverse residen�al, commercial, cultural and recrea�onal neighbourhood.
