Worcester City Council
Node were commissioned to undertake an ambitious and deliverable masterplan for Worcester city centre to deliver Worcester City Council’s vision of being a ‘growing cosmopolitan cathedral and university city with unrivalled heritage.’ This commission drew on all three of our service areas of urban design, landscape and heritage and the process was informed and supported by a significant public and stakeholder engagement programme.
The public realm design proposals were a key part of the masterplan and provided solutions to many of the wider strategic movement challenges faced by the city centre. The river corridor was a key space within the landscape design and in conjunction with our Riverside Park project, it was the area for many design interventions.
The masterplan SPD included detailed heritage analysis, together with definition of character features including building heights, key views and an assessment of the existing quality of the built and landscape environment to inform sensitive city-wide proposals.
The masterplan included a movement strategy for vehicles, public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.
