Derby City Council have commissioned an external consultant to produce a Public Realm Strategy (PRS) for Derby City Centre. This important piece of work will develop a comprehensive vision for the future of the city centre’s streets and public spaces, representing a transformative changing to the image, character, and life of the city centre.

Through a process of explorative analysing and collaborative engagement, we have developed a deep understanding for the city’s current form, strengths, challenges, gaps, and opportunities for improving the public spaces and places we all use every day. Building on this depth of understanding and knowledge gained from a wide variety of voices, we have identified a series of potential thematic routes through the city, alongside priority locations for delivering initial catalyst projects.


We would now like to bring these initial proposals for transformative change to you, the people of Derby, to benefit from your thoughts, and ask for your input in developing the designs and bringing added richness to these emerging proposals. Our ambition is to create a city centre for all, fostering inclusivity, safety, joy, and active participation and vibrant life, celebrating the character and community of Derby.


The Civic team at the University of Derby have hosted a series of public consultation events across the city to inform the development of a new Public Realm Strategy for Derby City Centre. These sessions gathered feedback from stakeholders, residents, and local representatives. Insights gained have been combined with data and mapping analysis to feed into the proposals which will be displayed at a special S.H.E.D installation in the Derbion Shopping Centre on Saturday 10th January.


Please join us on Saturday 10th January and be a part of shaping the future of Derby City Centre's public spaces.
