City Centre Approach

    Contains Options

Southampton City Centre is a major regional centre.  The aim is to focus major new development in the centre to support economic growth, a destination offering a wide range of retail, eating / drinking, leisure, cultural and tourist activities, provide new homes, locate development close to public transport, maintain a vibrant centre which is a hub for a range of activities, and enhance the city’s distinctive identity (including its parks, heritage, cultural assets and waterfront).  This will ensure the city centre as a destination and a place provides an exciting, varied, vibrant and distinctive offer.
