‘Destination’ for people from all over the north
However, chief executive Adrian Watson has revealed he wants to see Aberdeen become a “regional capital” of the north of Scotland.
That, he believes, would revitalise the city centre and lead to it becoming a “destination” for people from all over the north once again.
“The key thing is to re-establish Aberdeen as that regional capital city,” he said.
“In 2026, I’d like to think there is a thriving cafe culture and a liberal sprinkling of more pedestrian-friendly areas where people can enjoy the city centre and linger safely.
“We still want to see an accessible city centre where people can travel from the Shire with ease and come in and get out.
