Maindee Unlimited Maindee District Centre Renewal
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Maindee district centre has been long overdue a radical rethink and investment. 'Maindee District Centre Renewal' is a project to engage the community in transforming the environment and public realm to create a greener, more sociable and economically vibrant and people friendly place . We are following a process of ‘planning by doing’ and action learning, implementing smaller-scale, high impact demonstration and testing projects alongside strategic design and planning.
