27. Annotation / case study TASK: 1) Annotate the maps to show how Gunwharf has been redeveloped, comment on how land-use has changed 2) Answer: Is the redevelopment of Gunwharf sustainable? Explain why. 3) Copy & complete the table
28. Is the Gunwharf redevelopment sustainable? Yes, It is sustainable because: Mixed land use means that the space is used more often by different groups of people As Gunwharf is an outlet area it does not compete directly with the shops in Commercial Road Key worker housing and affordable housing have to be provided as part of the development (e.g. No1 Gunwharf is 23% social housing) Generating tourist income for the city Reusing a site and protecting listed and historic buildings Is not out of town so is still easily accessible But, it is Not sustainable where: Entertainment and restaurants have caused the decline in the Southsea Pier area, Odean cinema in North End, Port Solent
