Masterplanning, Economic Analysis, Feasibility Study
The Lowry Arts Centre in Salford was a large-scale regeneration initiative designed to fuel the renaissance of the City following its post-war decline. The team contributed to the masterplanning, economic analysis and feasibility testing of two principal facilities – The Lowry Gallery and Lowry Performance Venue. The initiative catalysed the BBC’s wholesale relocation of the BBC to Media City – a public private development with Peel Holdings – from London.
As a consequence of his work on this project, James Alexander was invited to join the as a non-executive board member of Central Government’s Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company, a post he held for five years.
