Shaping the future of Chester

Chester has become the first UK city to go under the microscope of the world renowned cities think tank the Urban Land Institute (ULI).


A ten-strong panel of experts from America and Europe flew into Chester in November to examine aspects of Chester’s potential for the future.

The project is being backed by a consortium of public and private sector stakeholders led by The Grosvenor Estate, and including, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Chester Renaissance, NWDA, Bank Of America, University of Chester and Chester Race Company.

A non profit research and education organisation, ULI provides ‘leadership in the responsible use of land in the creation of sustainable and thriving communities worldwide’.

Its experts have recently advised on the European Quarter, Brussels; recovery of the disaster-hit New Orleans; Shanghai’s burgeoning investment potential on the world stage and, in the near future, London’s Olympic Park Legacy.
