In landscape terms, each area of the development is conceived as having its own distinct character. The public areas are treated as a revealed river bed with a series of soft, pebble-like forms, while the private courtyards form calm green spaces with heavy tree planting and water gardens. The newly-created river walk – slightly raised to allow views over the river wall to the Thames – brings a 17m-wide boulevard to a previously underused part of the waterfront. The theme of this year’s outdoor illuminated trail is 'United By Light' paying tribute to the United By Music strapline - used when Liverpool hosted the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine in May 2023.

Ca 60% of the scheme is dedicated to open space, with landscaped gardens (by Gillespies), a riverside walkway and a park with restaurants, bars, a crèche and a hotel. United By Music - New York-based design firm Yellow Studio - founded by Julio Himede – will bring its 10-metre round, multi-purpose performance space to River of Light for its debut, paying tribute to the music of Eurovision 2023. The installation includes six songs from this year’s competition. The event showcases several installations created by local, national and international artists. Once open, people can walk along the two-kilometre River of Light trail for free and see the 12 installations that can be found along the route from various artists.Your attention is drawn to the fact that in rare circumstances it may not be possible to obtain the exact products or materials referred to in the specification.
