The city centre does not currently have a strong office market and so a key objective of the Vision should be to address this. We need to invest in our office stock to ensure that there is a variety of good quality buildings to meet modern needs and that there are sufficient sites for new development. New office accommodation should be located within a redefined Central Business District (CBD) and specialist clusters will be encouraged. We will provide support to office occupiers wishing to locate in the city centre and help with business formation and development.
Whilst Derby has a developing creative sector, we would like to focus these businesses into a new ‘Creative Quarter’ in the historic core of the city centre. This will help to stimulate synergies between businesses and increased use of historic buildings, providing unique workspaces for a variety of diverse businesses.
Key discussion points in this section included:
Creating an Office Market
Flexible Workspaces
A More Focussed Central Business District (CBD)
A Creative City
