Nottingham, like all major cities, is ever-evolving.
Landmarks that existed as recently as 10 years ago, such as the Broadmarsh shopping centre, have now been condemned.
Significant change to the city’s skyline can be difficult for locals to accept, particularly when once-popular buildings need to be knocked down.
But the reality is that the Nottingham of the future has already been decided by City Council chiefs and other planning bodies, with several major infrastructure projects planned over the coming years.
What will Nottingham look like in a decade’s time? There are set to be some big changes, that’s for sure.
We’ve put together a list of 6 new developments that are set to change the face of Nottingham and the surrounding area by 2035.
Let us know which ones you think will benefit the city the most.
Here are the top 6:
1. Broad Marsh
The Broad Marsh site was sold to Homes England earlier this year. The next stage of development will include de-risking of the site, such as demolition and enabling works, to attract private sector developers with the necessary credentials and proven track record to deliver transformational, exemplar city centre projects. The development of the site will bring forward around 1,000 homes, up to 20,000 square metres of retail, office and community spaces and create around 2,000 full-time jobs. | MyNottingham Photo: MyNottingham
2. Waterside Bridge
The Waterside Bridge will become the first new bridge over the River Trent in more than 60 years when it opens in 2026. The new pedestrian and cycle bridge will link the Trent Basin to Lady Bay. It will cost roughly £12.6m. | MyNottingham Photo: MyNottingham
3. City Ground expansion
Plans to expand the City Ground were approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council in June 2025. The plans will see the existing Peter Taylor Stand demolished and replaced with a 10,000-seater stand. This will result in the City Ground's capacity being increased to 35,000. | Getty Images Photo: Getty
4. Guildhall
The future of Nottingham's Guildhall remains uncertain, but there is every chance that the Grade II listed building - empty since 2010 - could be developed. The council had planned to turn the Guildhall into a four-star hotel, but these plans were paused in 2023. Reports last year suggested that the council were in talks to sell the building. | Andrew Abbott Photo: Andrew Abbott
