The Green Aberdeen’s historic Green and surroundings are amongst the oldest known parts of the city. The Green is one of four administrative medieval quarters recorded by 1399 and an important point of entry to the city. Recently the site has had a major conservation work programme conducted through the Green Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI). The Green remains an important architectural and historic area reminding us of Aberdeen’s medieval urban origins through to its nineteenth century expansion. Despite this the site has been identified as being under utilised. The Green sits in between the city centre’s latest commercial districts and transport link (Union Square/ railway and bus station) and the cities traditional commercial centre (Bon Accord and Union Street) and has the potential for a positive pedestrian route between the sites. The space has a lot of strengths:
Despite many strenghts the space also has weaknesses:

→ Other communities For residents, the wider community and visitors we have conducted survey’s, information leafleting, an online questionnaire and social media network to create a picture of the general perceptions of the site. |
