Nottingham’s Slab Square Gets Green Makeover

Nottingham’s iconic Old Market Square, nicknamed “Slab Square,” is set for a major transformation with a $4 million makeover as part of the city’s 2050 Vision. The UK’s second-largest public space—after Trafalgar Square—is being reimagined to become a greener, more vibrant heart of the city, featuring restored fountains (possibly with a Robin Hood twist), new greenery inspired by the “Green Heart” success, and event-ready spaces. Funded by $2.5 million from the East Midlands Combined Authority and Pride in Place grants, the project aims to boost investment, jobs, and housing while enhancing community life. Early phases are targeted for completion by 2030—watch this space. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
