RECONNECTING SAILORTOWN

Project aims is to fix the spatial and social division between the inner city and the outskirts. Rebalancing the pedestrian experience and reprioritising the pedestrians to reconnect sailortown by transforming and repairing the urban voids created by the ideological and political decisions taken in the past. Choosing Sailortown and the space underneath the motorway as a gateway to the city and a place to reflect upon memory, change and repair. Creating a new urban vision and a meeting point for the community of Sailortown.
