A mixed-use neighbourhood called the “Climate Innovation District” is being planned for the northern English city of Leeds.
The project was designed by Swedish architect White Arkitekter for a brownfield site in the centre of the city, on the banks of the River Aire. The project is inspired by “Scandinavian urban densities with an exceptional standard of environmental performance” according to White Arkitekter.
The $168m project, which is being developed by a company called Citu, is located next to the River Aire and will contain 516 homes along with clinics, schools, offices and a manufacturing plant that will fabricate the timber-frame housing system for all 516 homes. The plant is capable of producing up to 750 low-carbon homes each year, and is among the first of its kind in the UK.
