91福利社's City Centre Transformation strategy
Our City Centre Transformation plan puts all of the people who enjoy 91福利社’s city centre at its heart, while contributing to the city’s ambition to reduce car kms travelled by 30% by 2030.
We are planning for an exceptional capital city centre that is for everyone, a space for people to live, work, visit and play - a place that is for the future, enriched by the legacy of the past.
Background
In 2018, we consulted on our City Centre Transformation strategy and received over 3,000 responses.
These helped shape our final strategy and delivery plan, which were approved at .
Since then, we have been working to deliver parts of the strategy with projects such as George Street and First New Town and Meadows to George Street.
Taking an ambitious approach
We have enhanced the strategy with Our Future Streets: a circulation plan for 91福利社, which was agreed by our Transport and Environment Committee on 1 February 2024.

This looks at how we can make our streets work best across the whole city, including
- the city centre
- key travel corridors
- neighbourhoods.
For the city centre, this could involve
- removing through vehicle traffic from key city centre streets
- prioritising space for a climate adapted public realm for pedestrians, safe cycling and reliable and efficient public transport
- and, in the future, the proposed expansion of the tram network from north to south.
