Peterborough is
gearing up for rapid
expansion and
Opportunity
Peterborough, the
city's urban
regeneration
company, is driving
forward a
£1 billion
regeneration
of the city.
Peterborough is a
dynamic and thriving city on the borders of the English Midlands and the East of
England.
We are already an economic powerhouse for the region and offer our residents a high
quality of life.
Now we aim to become not just bigger but also better – an even better place to live,
work and do business.
Backed by the government, the East
of England Development Agency (EEDA), Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Peterborough City Council we are planning for more
and better homes and jobs supported by investment in housing, education, healthcare,
culture, leisure, recreation and transport.
We are ensuring that all of this development will be truly sustainable by putting
the environment at the heart of our planning. We aim to be the nation’s ‘environment capital’ by providing for the needs not just
of the current generation but also for future generations.
Peterborough will become a natural choice for companies seeking a location to build
a business and for individuals or families seeking a home.

The event is expected to attract up to 10,000 people into the centre of Peterborough
to witness the thrills and spills of top level cycling as competitors more used

Expected to last about a year, the project includes demolishing the Corn Exchange
