News on Newcastle High Streets

In 2023, we appointed a placemaking team (of architects, landscape architects, social and economic researchers, and transport planners) led by Harper Perry and MawsonKerr to help develop a long-term plan and vision for the area.

As part of the first stage of work, the team carried out research to develop an understanding of the five high streets in the Newcastle East Project area. The team have summarised their findings and identified future priorities in a short report which you can read here.

The next stages of the project will test these priorities through engagement and collaboration with local communities and stakeholder organisations before finally setting out a future strategy for investment and development across the five high streets.
