Catalysing an Energy-Driven Transformation

Exploring a Just Energy Transition of Northeast Sheffield in Collaboration with Community Partners

Manifesto for the Catalyst Project - aiming to reclaim the public space to people.

Overview

MA Urban Design’s Urban Design Project explored the potential of just energy transitions to propel change in the post-industrial areas of Sheffield: the Wicker, Burngreave, and Attercliffe areas located to the northeast of Sheffield City Centre.

This was a comprehensive analysis from quantitative and qualitative standpoints, including interviews, GIS analysis, and transect urbanism strategies.
