Sunderland arc was established in 2002 and its detailed proposals for Wearside and strategic landmark sites cover the arc's 15-year lifespan. The aim of them is clear: to create a high quality, vibrant, living and working environment for the city of Sunderland.
Together with its partners Sunderland City Council, One North East and Homes and Communities Agency, Sunderland arc has provided the infrastructure and investment framework for the creation of 11,700 jobs, 333,000 square metres of new business paces and 4,000 new homes, covering more than 300 hectares of brownfield land.
