Residents of Dundee have called Eden Project Dundee a “great idea”.
It is thought the park would bring around 200 jobs to Dundee, as well as £27 million in tourism.
The site, at the former Dundee Gasworks on the waterfront, will be converted into large gardens, drawing on the history of the city’s Nine Incorporated Trades.
These will be themed around nine new “guilds” – of Healers, Growers, Navigators, Myth-Makers, Noticers, Alchemists, Celebrators, Menders and “Re-Sourcerors”.
Each guild will have its Guild Hall on the main Eden Project Dundee site with opportunities for “embassies” elsewhere in the city.

Dundee City Council’s leader has praised the Eden Project’s new “guilds” and multiple city sites idea as “exciting”.
Following a six-month feasibility study last year, the Eden Project has announced plans to create the “nine new guilds of Dundee” – with each having its own identity and embassy.
The project hopes to create locations across the city with some venues being permanent, and others pop-up. Together they will create a trail of sites, encouraging people to explore different parts of the city.
The proposed themes are: Healers, Growers, Navigators, Myth makers, Noticers, Alchemists, Celebrators, Menders and Re-sourcerors with the planners having released artist impressions of three Guild Halls which they hope to open in the city in 2024.

The Eden Project visitor attraction in Dundee will span several locations to contain the city’s “nine new guilds”.
Plans are well advanced following a six month feasibility study last year, which has not been publicly revealed.
But Eden chief David Harland has dropped several clues about how the eco-visitor attraction will work in Dundee.
