Edinburgh's Garden District is a once in a generation opportunity to create a sustainable and well planned new community for Scotland's Capital City.

Our vision to develop a 650 acre site to the west of Edinburgh, has been shaped by our desire to create a wonderful new place for people to live, and which would be able to meet the Council's plans for the future growth of the City.

We aim to create a series of new and attractive areas, characterised by a mixture of uses and activities, new parkland and green spaces, and a street environment where people, not cars, have priority.

Visit...
Our vision includes a new home for the Calyx, a tourist attraction of international calibre that Edinburgh can be proud of. Conceived by Beechgrove Gardens' Jim McColl, the Calyx will act as Scotland's International Garden Showcase - a visitor attraction of national significance. With abundant gardens boasting unusual flora and fauna, innovative design and educational facilities, the Calyx will delight visitors young and old.

Play...
A sports hub will allow the residents of Edinburgh and the east of Scotland access to superb sports facilities. Aiming to train the sports people of the future, a centre of excellence will provide training and access to a number of sports to ensure that Edinburgh is at the forefront of sporting provision in Scotland. There is potential for a regional stadium, giving people access to the country's best events.

Live...
Edinburgh has a very real need for family housing. Edinburgh's Garden District aims to provide sustainable homes, predominantly for families, which are adaptable to the changing needs of residents. The majority of homes will have front and back gardens, providing the opportunity to live and breathe. All homes will be within ten minutes walking distance of public transport, ensuring that Edinburgh's Garden District is truly sustainable.

Work...
The Garden District will create up to 650 jobs for the people of Edinburgh. Just as importantly, it will provide homes near to employment and will also support an enhanced public transport system, making it easier for those who work in west Edinburgh to travel in a greener way.
