The Masterplan is a 15-year city regeneration project. It is both radical and far reaching. Its aim is to reposition and reveal Bradford, by opening up its hidden views, historic architecture and buried watercourses.

Based on a unique ‘park in the city’ concept, this vision for Bradford will change people’s perceptions of living, working and playing in the city centre. Land value will be raised, infrastructure improved and inward investment attracted.

The Masterplan will impact positively upon the immediate neighbourhoods and their current initiatives, with a ripple effect on the rest of the city and the wider district. The Masterplan will enable Bradford to play a competitive role in the regional economy.

The Masterplan covers an area of two sq km and focuses on developing four new neighbourhoods:

    1. The Bowl
    2. The Valley
    3. The Channel
    4. The Market

These linked quarters will grow, develop and evolve to become an inspiration for the whole of Bradford, unearthing a flourishing and dynamic city of which its residents, businesses and visitors can be truly proud.

The city centre Masterplan is one key initiative within Bradford District. Please see the below Masterplans to view the scale of regeneration within the District:
