Macclesfield Town Centre

My model at 1:500 scale was one of four competition entries for a proposed town centre redevelopment. The scheme designed by BDP envisaged a new pedestrian shopping thoroughfare, cinema and department store.  A public exhibition presented the alternative schemes and Macclesfield Council approved a proposal which unfortunately was delayed by the recession.  The anchor store subsequently withdrew and plans have now been revised. A much reduced proposal will see development take place on land that is currently used for car parking and will perhaps be leisure rather than retail based.

The model illustrated below, featured existing buildings in grey and new developments in white.
