Since the Masterplan for Bradford city centre was launched in 2003, City Park has been seen as a critical part of Bradford’s regeneration. After extensive consultation with the public and investment community, the current designs are the latest translation of that vision. You can view a presentation explaining the history of the City Park scheme.

Connecting culture and regeneration in the world's first City of Film
The Arts of Place - a creative programme of temporary artworks, events and learning, designed to involve everyone and to raise the cultural profile of Bradford’s landmark regeneration project, City Park.
As part of the programme, six artists developed a series of temporary artworks for City Park during its construction period, creating an exhibition of films, sculpture and performance from 7th to 15th October 2010 - connecting culture and regeneration in the world’s first City of Film.
Alongside development of these artworks three key events have taken place. These events aimed to explore and debate how regeneration and arts professionals can work together successfully and the value of involving artists in the ongoing procession of regeneration.
