Newcastle's East Quayside regeneration scheme has created a network of new public spaces and buildings, linked by a waterfront promenade. Designed by Terry Farrell & Partners.
This successful urban waterfront regeneration project, in a dramatic setting on the north bank of the River Tyne, stretching downstream from the Malmaison Hotel, and is linked by the award winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge661a to Gateshead Quays, where the Baltic, a former grain warehouse converted into a new international centre for contemporary art, creates a key visual focal point across the river.
A waterfront promenade runs the length of the scheme, linking together new public spaces and buildings, including offices associated with the nearby Law Courts, a hotel and new waterfront apartments. The promenade is a hub of activity, offering among its attractions restaurant and bar facilities to visitors of all types. The opening bridge gives access across the river to the Baltic by foot and cycle, and both attract large numbers of sightseers.
