Making Things Happen: Leeds Development Corporation 1988-1995. A Photography Exhibition
Heritage Open Day: A photography exhibition looking at the work and controversies surrounding Leeds Development Corporation, who held planning powers over areas of Leeds 1988-1995. The exhibition features 'now and them' comparisons of Leeds today and leeds 30 years ago In this reinterpretation of our 2024 exhibition, ‘The Promised Land‘, we examine the work of Leeds Development Corporation using over 140 exclusive original photographs, 40 of which are previously unseen. We present provocative contrasts between once desolate lands on the waterfront, now teeming with life. We uncover local opposition to Leeds Development Corporation in the Kirkstall Valley. We consider the legacy and impact of Leeds Development Corporation thirty years on. Come with us on this tale of urban development.
