PLANNING/DESIGN
As Johansson (1993) puts it, in decoding cultural heritage, every place provides more or less strong evidence of how the place has been used at different times. Traces of different eras force their way into the present. If we arrange these traces in patterns that belong to the same time, we find overlapping layers that shine through each other they are somewhat transparent. The pattern of accumulated forms and change suggests a lot about the evolution of the landscape and the local culture(Johansson, 1993).

Sheffield takes its name from the River Sheaf. Sheffield was founded in the early 12th century by the Lord of the manor, William de Lovetot. He built a castle on the site of Castle Market.
In the 16th century, Sheffield became far more famous for its cutlery. Before 1500 watermills were adapted to grinding tools and the cutlery trade boomed.

SWOT ANALYSIS Strenghth
1980S
Oppotunities
Strong industrial character with rich history and historical buildings.Strong street art character. Heritage buildings and varies activities have successfully been clustered at the west part of the site.
The 1980s saw the worst of the run-down of Sheffield’s industries. The manufacturing industry employ 50% of the city’s workforce in 1971, however, only 24% workforce in 1984.
Close to the City Centre. Close to River Don. People have the willing to access to the waterfront. Industrial provide job oppotunities for local people.
PRESENT SHEFFIELD PRESENT
Since the industrial decline in 1980, the government has been looking for a new derection to drive economic development.

SITE ANALYSIS
environmental sphere arts and cultural sphere economic sphere
Using the concept of culture to bring vitality to the site. More events can be holded in this place.
Lack of activities at the east part of the site. In the east part of the site, heritage and assets exist in isolation and are unconnected and underutilised.
Reconnection with the core of City Centre Connection with local communities.New tram line in the site. Proposing new settlemet.
Quality of existing river side walk and cycleway is extremely variable. Weak connection with the core of City Centre Lack of management. Some undesirable elements in the site, such as low quality graffiti. Railway cut through the site which lead to low connectivity of each area.
Transform the old industry into advanced manufacturing. Introducing more retails into the site. Repurposing the parking area.
Lack of commercial development, more retails are needed High deprivation
Riverside regeneration Link with surrouding green space to form a green belt. The parking areas is a potential area for green space.
Lack of green space and green infrastructures on the roads and too many parking space. Little oppotunities that people can get access to the river Poor conection to the surrounding green space.
Large investment at the begining of the project. But cannot attract visitors immediately. Massive single industrial use.
