Café culture around Market Square
Market Square is one of Wolverhampton’s largest civic spaces, and Smithgate will be fundamental to its revival.
Residents living at Smithgate will have the opportunity to spill out onto the square, and once transformed, create a genuine café culture and turning it into a true civic destination for the city.
The planned renewed space will be capable of hosting events, markets, and festivals. It will be a shared space for the whole community.
Market Square
Smithgate will enable future investment in Market Square, one of Wolverhampton’s largest public spaces. It’s an opportunity to create a destination and civic space which can host events, markets, and become a place for the whole community to enjoy.
Public spaces
The Smithgate masterplan will feature a network of courtyards, streets, and public spaces designed for people to meet, relax, and spend time.
Planting and biodiversity enhancements will introduce greening, creating welcoming spaces for both people and wildlife.
The spaces will not just look good, they will aim to support wellbeing, social interaction, forging a stronger sense of community.
