SUMMARY
As a city Leicester has a lot to offer its people and communities. However currently these offerings, natural and cultural, are fragmented and cut off from one another, so as a whole are failing to contribute to overall city life.
Development of target areas, and interventions adjacent to the existing corridor of the River Soar will establish the river as a vital artery for people, as well as linking together pieces of the city. Schemes to manage flood risk and introduce new social activity in these areas will contribute to a vibrant and resilient city.
