URBUS

Ely Urban Planning

A strategic gateway area redevelopment proposal for the city of Ely, reconnecting the historic Cathedral precinct with the Great Ouse river corridor and surrounding green areas. The plan restructures movement, introduces mixed-use development, and creates a legible sequence of public spaces from the station arrival to the waterfront.

Every city is shaped by three interconnected systems: its Geometry — the spatial logic of streets, blocks and buildings; its Culture — the history, memory and social life embedded in its fabric; and its Ecology — the natural systems of climate, water and green infrastructure. Understanding how these three forces interact is the foundation of every project URBUS undertakes.
