PHYSICAL REGENERATION NEWS: C4 to screen green Projects by urban design firms

Allen Tod Architecture and Parklife have been shortlisted for the regeneration of Castleford, the West Yorkshire town that will feature in a Channel 4 series next year. Parklife has been chosen to make The Green (see visualisation, above) a safer place for people of all ages, while Allen Todd will create a playground for Cutsyke Street and transform unused spaces and house frontages on Wilson Street. The shortlisted designers for the town centre and riverside projects will be announced soon. The Castleford Project is a collaborative initiative between various regeneration organisations and Channel 4.
