Aberdeen City Centre Masterplan is a project by Aberdeen City Council which aims to improve the city of Aberdeen.
In March 2015, the first details on the project were released, and initial public consultations opened. [1] The proposals were designed by BDP and priced at £280 million in 2015. [2] The project was approved by councillors on 24 June 2015. [3] In November 2016, it was announced that the council had raised £307 million through issuing public bonds, and that this would go towards the funding of the masterplan, the P&J Live, and other infrastructure projects. [4]
The initial proposals included the partial pedestrianisation of Union Street and a "station gateway", creating a pedestrian link between Union Street and Aberdeen railway station. [3] Proposals announced in 2016 included a new area called Queen's Square, created through the demolition of the police headquarters on Queen Street. [5]
