Master-developers U+I and TOWN, working with landowners Cambridge City Council and Anglian Water, are developing a vision for a new urban quarter in Cambridge and they want children’s voices and ideas to contribute to this. At the heart of the planned new district of North East Cambridge, the Core Site development will include approximately 5,600 homes, shops, workplaces, education, community and leisure facilities, and open spaces.
Over a 100 Artscapers from Shirley Community Primary and North Cambridge Academy worked with artists Helen Stratford, Hilary Cox Condron and Sally Todd to imagine the future for this new area just on their doorsteps during the spring and summer of this year. This short film made by Sally Todd captures a flavour of the process and some of their wonderful ideas.
