York Central
View all projectsYork Central is the most significant urban expansion in the ancient city of York's modern history. Radiating from York's railway station and railyards, the site is a very large expanse of brownfield land immediately adjacent to the city's historic core. This is an ambitious project that will influence both York and the wider region, providing a framework for sustainable urban and economic development. A complement to York's medieval walled city, the overall plans for this site respond to local needs, establishing a flexible framework for a piece of city that whilst largely new, will emerge in ways authentic and familiar.
