Event details

Major changes are taking place in the heart of our city centre, driven by York’s Masterplan and the ambitious York Central regeneration scheme. How will these developments drive economic, social and cultural growth?

York Central is one of the UK’s largest city centre regeneration schemes, transforming brownfield land near York railway station and the National Railway Museum into a brand-new quarter for the city. How will this help power York’s economy into the future? What will be its cultural impact? What job opportunities will it create?

Come along and hear from our expert speakers and join in the conversation.

This event is part of the Festival Focus ‘Beyond the Tracks: Innovation and transformation’ presented in collaboration with LNER. You may also be interested in ‘Transforming York: Rail’s legacy’ and ‘Rail: A gateway to the future’ taking place the same day.
