Leicester is a post-industrial city that has many derelict buildings and recreational land that are currently vacant. As a person who is keen on outdoor life (mountain biking, hiking etc), I find it frustrating to see developments cropping up on the edges of the city, nibbling away at the countryside, when these inner city areas are unused. Through a process of investigation, research and image making I hope to demonstrate a way in which this land can be put to better use.

Spending a Penny
I also stumbled upon this interesting article on De Montfort University very own paper, The Demon.
Some local businessmen have bought an old run down art deco toilet block and are converting it into a cafe and deli.
This shows great iniative in using a building that would have otherwise have been left to rot (it had been unused for several years prior to the recent purchase).
