Ideas for Huyton. A civic heart high street regeneration

Our Fragile Futures agenda focuses on social, environmental and economic balance creating vibrant, healthy and happy places where our Lived Experience, Liveable Cities challenge addresses inhabiting an urban place and sustaining it for communities to connect and thrive.

P&I projects are’ live’ and collaborative crafted in local situations focussing on place and people. We work with local stakeholders for experience of real-life scenario and impact. Social Environmental and Economic sustainability are key at macro and micro scales.

Huyton Village High Street Regeneration is our 2022 2023 project focus (in collaboration with Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council , Dr Fei Chen (Urban Form and Social Space); Architectural Emporium (begun in 2021)

In semester1 Students remodelled and crafted a disused high street postal sorting office and site into ‘a Place to Stay.‘ The value of ‘the stranger’ to a small town was explored alongside the place-making of hospitality and welcome as civic necessity and value.

In semester 2 The project envisions an integrated public transport ‘gateway’  – a residential tower and transport hub with 24 hour internal and external public realm. Proposals: connect Huyton’s historic train station to Huyton bus station and to Huyton high street; reinforce Huyton’s connection to Liverpool and Manchester and its community to each other; celebrate healthy green transport

Projects considered the concept of ‘civic-ness ‘ and were crafted in response to KMBC’s masterplan for Huyton to re-establish its status as civic and administrative heart of Knowsley.
