Over the last years, Swansea Council has spent considerable resource redefining Swansea as a city of education, sustainable energy and digital technology. ACME have worked with the Council since 2015 on a new masterplan for the centre of Swansea.
The first phase of Swansea Central which is now under way will create new sight lines and pedestrian routes from the city centre to the beaches of Swansea Bay. The new bridge, a major new park and the Concert Arena are major public investments, complemented by residential uses and parking spaces in Phase 1. Future phases of Swansea Central will be able to grow and evolve around them.

Network Rail Property has announced it is to bring forward new plans to redevelop Britain’s busiest station, London Liverpool Street, to transform the customer experience.

It’s time the station becomes a destination in its own right, to handle the demands of the future.

London Liverpool Street station is a major transport hub connecting well over 100 million people a year within London and the southeast, with passengers forecast to grow to over 140 million a year by 2050.

This is a transport-led scheme promoted by Network Rail Property focussed on providing big improvements to the everyday experience for passengers, including:

• Increasing the size of the concourse to ease congestion  

• Step-free access across the station and London Underground 

• Delivering 7 new lifts to make Network Rail platforms and the London Underground more accessible.  

• Increasing the number of escalators from 4 to 8 to enable easier access to the trains  

• More ticket barriers to reduce queuing 

• New toilets, including family facilities on all levels of the station. 

• New landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square. 

• Additional waiting lounges  

• Better signage throughout, making the busses easier to find. 

• More cycle storage with direct access to platforms 

• More space for passengers inside the station

• A greater variety of cafes, restaurants and shops
