Question 44

Figure 6: Map of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, showing urban regeneration projects

Map of central Newcastle showing six key urban regeneration schemes. A red dashed boundary outlines the main Central Business District (CBD). The River Tyne runs along the southern boundary of the city centre. Six numbered symbols indicate different project sites: Project 1 is a civic office development; Project 2 is a major retail plaza redevelopment in the CBD; Project 3 is a cultural and leisure waterfront development situated directly on the banks of the River Tyne; Project 4 is a transport interchange upgrade at Newcastle Central Station; Project 5 is an innovation and science park on the western edge; Project 6 is a warehouse conversion zone for urban housing. A scale bar shows 0 to 500m and a north arrow is visible.

Using Figure 6, suggest one reason why Project 3 (the cultural and leisure waterfront development) was important to the regeneration of the city centre.
