The Green Heart at Broad Marsh due to commence on site
Nottingham City Council have released new images announcing this major transformation due to start later in the year. The vision by Heatherwick Studio and design of the Green Heart is unique to Nottingham. It is being developed by Townshend Landscape Architects along with the Council, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, with Heatherwick Studio retained as a strategic design advisor.
The scheme will enhance biodiversity and ecological connectivity by introducing green, ecologically rich and diverse linked spaces, providing habitats and food for wildlife. Urban wetlands will filter rainwater, further expanding the range of diverse natural habitats. For humans, there are planned pathways, pocket spaces, lawn areas, and locally sourced stone seating, to immerse oneself in an ecologically rich landscape right in the heart of Nottingham’s urban cityscape.
TLA are already working on Collin Street, a playable new pedestrian public space that links to the Green Heart, Sussex Street and the wider Broad Marsh area.
