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.
These are some flyers being dished out at DMU. Code Student housing is big in Leicester and they seem to be building lots of accommodation on brownfield sites, especially beside the canal and where the Great Central Railway used to go.
