Publisher's Synopsis
This thought-provoking study explores what the future holds, or could hold, for the City of York. Based on consultation with York residents and organisations, it includes a profile of York as it stands today, illuminated by comparisons with other British cities with comparable historic legacies such as Bath, Chester, Exeter and Norwich. The report presents ideas for how York might develop in future and the practical constraints of various options for development are examined. It concludes with recommendations for the way forward and the authors suggest that York should adopt a strategy of "Smart" growth based on the principles of sustainability and accessibility.
