St John's Square, Blackpool: flexible, multi-activity public space

London-based, architectural practice leit-werk won a £3.5million competition to re-design a key public space in the heart of Blackpool. The redevelopment of the St John's Precinct area forms part of the greater regeneration plan being delivered by ReBlackpool - the town's urban regeneration company.

St John's New Horizon is intended both as a new landmark and as a lifestyle hub. A catalyst for the town's ongoing regeneration, the scheme will attract locals and holidaymakers, encouraging tourism, cultural activity and business investment
