A Good Transport Plan for Bristol sets out a vision for the future of travel in Bristol. The plan shows how getting around the city could be cleaner, cheaper and more efficient if we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. It's been produced by Sustrans on behalf of the Bristol Green Capital Partnership Transport Action Group.

"A Good Transport Plan helps to clarify the real challenges we face in keeping Bristol moving and to put forward some of the main ideas around sustainable transport. "

- Peter Mann, Bristol City Council Service Director for Transport

The aim is to inspire people to see the potential for the future of travel in Bristol, and even to provide their own ideas - feeding into the current West of England Joint Spatial Plan and Transport Study.

In developing the plan, Sustrans have worked in collaboration with a range of local organisations, businesses and community group leaders and consulted with over 1,300 people - made up of over 700 face to face engagements at events across Bristol and a further 600 online.

A Good Transport Plan for Bristol can create change by setting out proposals that would make traveling into and around Bristol more sustainable, accessible and enjoyable.

What are you going to do to make the Good Transport Plan vision a reality for Bristol?

Over 20 commercial and community organisations have signed up in support of A Good Transport Plan including FirstGroup, DHL, Business West, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Greater Bedminster Community Partnership, Bristol Civic Society and Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways.

The large membership of the Partnership provides a forum that reaches deep into Bristol's communities and therefore helps engage many who would not necessarily get involved in a traditional consultation exercise.

The Urban Development Corporations were set up to regenerate the inner city areas by attracting private investment to the worst areas. They could purchase any necessary land and then had to stimulate the economy to attract private investment.

In Bristol the UDC purchased a 900-acre site in an area of industrial decline. Its objectives were to improve the existing infrastructure, make sure there was sufficient housing and provide an environment that would attract new industries - providing jobs and money.

The land area near temple meads station was one that had suffered badly from the closure of industry. Much criticism has been targeted at the UDC with many wondering what they ever achieved. Their three main achievements in Bristol were the building of a major new road link, attracting new industry, providing over 4000 new jobs and a significant housing development, much of which was bought by first time buyers.

1. It pursued many large flagship proposals that never happened.

2. Very little money went into environmental improvements, training or social facilities.

3. During recession, unemployment in UDC areas went up to 25% as opposed to 5%, the city average.

4. Jobs were low skilled and poorly paid.

5. Failed to adapt to the stated wants and needs of local people.

Harbour-side regeneration
This is a good case study of regeneration. It is the same case study as regeneration through tourism. It has been adapted and changed slightly. It means that you have less to learn and highlights the fact that many case studies are relevant to more than one topic.

Bristol city council put together a regeneration bid and successfully gained £41 million from the lottery and £21 million from English partnerships.

Bristol's dockland areas went into near terminal decline following the arrival of large cargo ships that could no longer navigate the Avon River. This was also accompanied by competition from the new docks at Avonmouth and Portbury. This prompted the closure of several industries around Bristol docks such as various tobacco factories, a sand dredging industry and lead-shot works. It left several empty, but listed buildings.

As the docks declined, Bristol was faced with several problems, such as growing social and economic inequalities, vast areas of derelict land and in some areas, high unemployment.

The inner city areas were particularly badly hit and unemployment in some areas rose to almost 20%. The inner cities were typified by poverty and deprivation with people unable to afford the necessary food, clothing and services to achieve the bare necessities of life. More than 50% of children received free school meals.

The people of inner cities (including St. Paul's) became increasingly angry at the lack of opportunities, particularly for black youths. April 1980 saw the frustrations of youths explode into a night of rioting.

In order to address this problem, it was decided to redevelop the former dockland area. One of the most significant achievements was when Lloyds TSB relocated their headquarters to the docklands area. This acted as a great spur for investment.

The next photograph shows areas of derelict land behind Lloyds TSB. Twenty years ago, this is what most of the dockland area looked like:

The docklands redevelopment has been financed by a mixture of public and private money with the overall aim of providing a new creative quarter for the city with leisure facilities, housing and offices. It has received substantial funding from the national lottery.

Over the past thirty years, the area has undergone major changes culminating in the opening of the new IMAX theatre, at-Bristol science museum and the Millennium Square. The area is now one of the largest redevelopment projects in Europe.

1. Over £500 million pounds of inward investment. This has been a mixture of public and private money.

2. The creation of an environment that will attract new businesses to formerly rundown areas of the city.

3. Over 3000 new jobs.

4. A mixed commercial environment that includes cafe bars, restaurants, cinemas, shops.

5. New developments for the arts.

6. Sports facilities.

7. An industrial museum and maritime heritage museum.

8. The preservation and utilisation of listed buildings. For example, the Watershed media centre (pictured below) that includes a cinema, studios, art gallery and café bar was formerly two warehouses.

9. Residential developments providing much needed housing. Pictured below is one of the latest developments on what was formerly a derelict railway siding.

10. Rated as one of the best harbour-side redevelopments in the UK. The scheme has successfully redeveloped what was a very rundown area.

11. By raising the profile of the city and linking the development to the CBD, it is also going some way to counteract the relocation of entertainment and commerce to The Mall.

Development is ongoing as proposals are made for the redevelopment of other sites.

On the whole, the redevelopment has been very well received, but there has been some criticism.

1. Concerns about how the area would fare during recession, especially as it is so dependant on entertainment - one of the first things people would reduce if their incomes fell.

2. Some criticism of the Millennium Square, in that it is featureless and has done nothing to improve traffic congestion.

3. New houses are very expensive - you could argue that the real need was for cheaper social housing.

This is a good Case Study of regeneration.

As the docks declined Bristol was faced with several problems such as growing social and economic inequalities, vast areas of derelict land and in some areas high unemployment.

In order to address this problem it was decided to redevelop the former dockland area. The first development involved the SS Great Britain - a historic vessel built in Bristol returned for restoration that attracted large numbers of visitors. This demonstrated that the docks could become a valuable environment for redevelopment. Lloyds TSB relocated their headquarters to the docklands area. This acted as a great spur for investment.
