Urban Regeneration

Cathedral Quarter Transformation

The Cathedral Quarter Transformation is a long-term, 10 to 15-year regeneration project in Wakefield city centre, led by Wakefield Council in partnership with Muse. Following a period of public engagement that concluded in early August 2026, the council is currently reviewing feedback to refine the masterplan. The project aims to replace the underutilised Ridings Shopping Centre and nearby residential tower blocks with a mixed-use district, featuring approximately 1,000 new homes, a new library and museum, public green spaces, and enhanced leisure and commercial facilities. The council remains committed to supporting existing residents and businesses throughout the phased transition.
