Work is underway to create a ‘new town’ in Leeds in a major transformation initiative.
Leeds South Bank is a project which aims to double the size of Leeds city centre through a £350m investment.
The urban renewal plan is focused on the formal industrial areas south of the River Aire, zone which has been shortlisted as one of the Government’s potential ‘new towns’.
Over the past few years, the area has already experienced quite the transformation with the additions of Aire Park, the Kellstone Building and more.
Here’s an insight into what Leeds South Bank looks like right now.
