Darren Hoare, the Eden Project’s Head of Programme Delivery, said: “We have had a fantastic summer of co-creation events in Dundee. We have met some incredible people and been bowled over by the ideas and inspiration the people of Dundee have brought to the events.
“Adding more dates to the calendar – including online events for those unable to come along in person – will extend the opportunity to get involved to even more people. We can’t wait to see you all!”
Eden Project Dundee will be a landmark development for the city, transforming the former gasworks on East Dock Street into a beacon for regeneration and green tourism. It will encourage visitors to think, feel and act differently by revealing how we can learn from and be inspired by nature.
The project will combine exhibits, performance, learning, play, immersive experiences, world-class horticulture, live music, art, and food, beverage and retail spaces, all integrated as essential parts of the overall experience.
Work to create an Eden Project on this site would include the conversion of the existing gasholder, demolition of other buildings on the site and the construction of a pedestrian bridge.
The project is inspired by Dundee’s Nine Incorporated Trades and will introduce a new set of contemporary Guilds. These Guilds will be underpinned by the perspectives and skills needed for a regenerative future.
Guild Embassies – both physical and virtual - will be rooted in communities and enable activities that will be brought together and showcased at the main attraction.
The Eden Project is working in partnership with Dundee City Council, The Northwood Charitable Trust and the University of Dundee
The submission of the planning application will draw to an end the latest phase of development for Eden Project Dundee, which was made possible by a £7.6m commitment from the project partners.
