Doncaster

  • wanted to develop a new market for developers and visitors
  • 'doncaster earth center'- built on a formwer colliery site
  • to bring interest into a deprived area. 
  • cost 60million and was largely funded my millenuim lotteryto promote sustainable living
  • in a pheriphial area which had a poor transport system
  • due to this, there was a lack of visitors which resulted in the center not bing able to fund itsself any longer 
  • as this was was only one of the strategies that took place, , there was a lack of overall interest in the area and this resulted in its closure in 2004.
