Objectives and Benefits
MetaConnex™ accelerates decision-making, predicts outcomes, and analyses sustainability. It demonstrates fiscal uplift and GDP growth, streamlining planning and supporting sustainable urban development.
MetaConnex™ Engagement
Paul Whittingham, overseeing the Bolton 2040 Vision, engaged MetaConnex™ to develop a Digital Development Model Masterplan (DDMM). MetaConnex™ uses advanced digital tools to design, visualise, and manage the vision, integrating baseline data with site appraisals and development concepts.
MetaConnex™ Process
MetaConnex™ creates an interactive model by integrating data sources with planning policies and constraints. The platform generates a digital twin to visualise scenarios, attract investors, and ensure informed decision-making.
Digital Development Model Masterplan
MetaConnex™ developed plans for key areas: Trinity Quarter, Crompton Place, and Moor Lane. These plans transform underperforming areas into thriving hubs for employment, living, and culture, advancing the Bolton 2040 Vision into a comprehensive implementation plan.
MetaConnex has proven its ability to drive urban regeneration, save time and money, and support ambitious development visions, positioning Bolton for a vibrant and prosperous future.
