During the 13th and 14th century, Chester was the largest and busiest port in the north-west, trading with ports throughout the British Isles and Europe The Water Tower was built in 1322 In addition to its defensive role, it also functioned as a base for monitoring shipping and collecting The Water Tower forms a prominent landmark with key views towards it from Dee Basin.

The urban design proposal is focused on revitalizing the neighborhoods around the Tower and the Wharf in Chester where the Canal Meets the River Dee. This Canal Environment was used to be a Dee Basin in the Past - A water body used for trading purposes Adjacent to that there is the Water Tower which was built as an extension to the City Wall, in order to monitor the activities taken place near River Dee and Dee Basin The idea was to create a central Neighborhood to attract the people from the surrounding residential sectors. For this a new and modern extension to the Chester city wall starting from the water tower crossing the river dee to the other side, was proposed along with four main interconnected nodes which are, The Market Node, Aquaponic, fishing node and the golf node

As a development for the agricultural node, by using the water bodies, Aquaponic will be the main planting system In term of functions, a playgrounds, exercise fields, gardens will be designed for the residents as well as the visitors coming from the flyover A 1m x 1m square is the basic Each spaces will then be derived from the basic depend on the functions and users. In the initial stages visitors get a package of seeds at the entrance and the can participate in planting and bring life to the playground

Local Market will act as an activity hub creating interaction points of the surrounding neighborhood Rather than a super-market people tend to talk with each other more . The vibrancy of a such a place will create a lively atmosphere which needed for the neighborhoods in Chester Isolated from the city center and known as a less active sector With this new design strategy and the new city wall extension coming up, people will find it easy to identify a place to be, not so far from the city center and not so far from their homes Fishing is reasonably poor in Chester The fishing at the River Dee is relatively poor The matters such as lack of accessibilities to the river edge and electrical power lines that hinder access to fishing were identified. With the establishment of the fishing node there will be a river edge development ultimately forming a public promenade This would define the river edge forming a new recreational realm providing opportunity for people to socialize
