The city centre
Last updated: 13 May 2010 15:45 UKSignificant change and development in the coming years will transform the city centre into the economic, social and cultural focus of Portsmouth and the wider southeast Hampshire area.
Gunwharf Quays and the Spinnaker Tower have turned the city into a must-see destination and now Portsmouth’s city centre will be transformed through a number of key regeneration projects.
The most significant project is at the Northern Quarter, centred on the former Tricorn site, which will form a new regional shopping destination. The development will provide new shops, cafés and restaurants.
The Northern Quarter will seamlessly integrate with Commercial Road through the City Centre Improvements project. This will provide new landscaping, seating and lighting throughout the city centre, improving the environment for visitors and shoppers. A new performance space will be created at the junction of Edinburgh Road and Commercial Road and the successful city centre market will be re-housed in Edinburgh Road with improved facilities and new stalls.
A new public transport interchange is proposed next to Portsmouth and Southsea station for the buses which currently stop at Edinburgh Road and Commerical Road south. This is part of the overall development of the Station Square and Station Street area which will provide new offices, hotels and homes alongside an improved public realm.
