Hull’s Regeneration Vision Progresses with Design Firm Appointment

A design firm has been selected to assist with the regeneration of Hull. Planit, a company specializing in urban design, will collaborate with Hull City Council over the next six months to formulate a strategy intended to “stimulate the economy, respond to climate change and develop sustainable neighbourhoods.” This planning effort is financed by a £19.3 million government program and forms a component of Hull’s Community Plan 2024-2034. A key objective of this plan is to establish the city as a regional center for investment and growth. Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, the council’s portfolio holder for regeneration, stated: “We want residents of our city to have a say in its future, a city they can feel proud of and a place where people want to live and visit.” He further indicated that the forthcoming vision aims to generate employment opportunities and provide access to affordable housing, green spaces, and chances to engage with the city’s culture and heritage. Andy Roberts, Planit’s director of urban design, commented: “Committed to a regenerative future, we are passionate about preservation and building cities that can adapt. “We’re delighted to play a central role in Hull’s development.””
