Regenerate: “to restore, refresh and renew”
With 250,000 people and 13,000 businesses, Medway has an economy worth around £3billion per year. Medway Council's plans are well advanced, having been worked out and agreed with the local community, to create a new city of learning, culture, tourism and enterprise.
For more details of the council's detailed plan to create a new city of 300,000 people with 16,000 new homes and 40,000 new, quality jobs, visit the Medway Renaissance website (www.medwayrenaissance.com).
A general overview of this ambitious regeneration plan can be found in the Regeneration Framework, while Sir Terry Farrell's report, Five Towns Make a City (pdf 3,848KB), focuses on the importance of reconnecting the towns to the river, investment in landscape-based and environmental regeneration projects and respect for the area’s unique built heritage.
