‘A New Poole’ studies future scenarios and provides a solution to a potential outcome of population growth. As population grows in Poole, there would be no choice but to expand the town outwards, away from the bay. This is detrimental to the town as it takes the focus away from the town centre and the quayside, further removing the new area from the cultural heritage that is the quay. 

 

To alleviate this, a design was completed that focused on land reclamation and culminated in the proposal of a large peninsula being constructed , linked both by the land to the east and by a monumental bridge on the western bank that links to the existing quay. This bridge represents the new Poole and creates a significance to the crossing over to the new area. City planning was researched and applied to the design and the final plan includes residential areas as well as retail and industrial, while maintaining a high amount of public and green spaces. Large towers can be seen in the centre of the peninsula that provide housing as well as office spaces, providing jobs for the increased population and ensuring Poole is perceived as a modern town.
