Bristol Harbourside

• What is it?


  A highly successful port in the 1800s,

  Bristol’s narrow channel couldn’t cope with the growing boats trying to navigate their way
• Environmental impacts


  Passive heating and grey water in offices

  Lack of green space
• Economic impacts 


  Over 4,000 jobs created

  Further investment attracted by development
• Social impacts


  Links to heritage & history – makes people proud

  Housing aimed at young & wealthy – no social mix
• Summary


  Socially, the mix of people is limited due to the nature of accommodation offered

  Economically, the redevelopment has injected investment into a previously run-down area and is part of strong opposition to Aztec West for offices and Cribbs Causeway for shops

  Environmentally, there is a mix of building materials and good use of heritage buildings but the links to nature and vegetated areas could be greater
