Master plan and landscape infrastructure,
Lakeside, Doncaster, UK,

A 85 hectare site in South Yorkshire was subject of a master plan which took over a decade to establish. Its primary aim was to reverse a per-ception of decline and dereliction in the City, as a result of the economic erosion of traditional industries.

This resulted in and the need to recalibrate the land uses of a whole eastern section of the City. Previously a waste tip and regional airport, the master plan created a large central lake for recreation; a dramatic wooded hillside made of the re-processed waste tip; and high value sites for business and other commercial uses as well as residences and parks.
