Foster presents masterplan to transform Wembley

Article Abstract:

Efforts by Brent Council to ensure that Wembley becomes the site of the UK's planned National Stadium, rather than Manchester, will include the redevelopment of the area around the stadium. A plan has now been produced by Foster and Partners. This includes a large new public space, a new railway stadium and road improvements. The stadium already has good public transport links, but a new five-level car park is planned, located underneath the new stadium square.
