Urban Regeneration

Our work rejuvenates urban areas, rebuilding civic confidence and the richness of town and city living.

Heartlands Park forms the core of Heartlands, a community-led vision to transform Cornwall’s most derelict urban area into a truly inspirational cultural landscape. It will celebrate the local traditions of innovation and creativity and help the community of Pool to be a truly great place to live work and play.
