The project, by Gillespies, cost more than \u00a324m<\/a> to develop, and opened in 2012 \u2013 transforming a large section of Bradford city centre, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then it has hosted festivals, live performances and art installations, and is home to Bradford’s annual Literature Festival.<\/p>\n

The opening event for Bradford’s year as City of Culture<\/a>, Rise, attracted 20,000 people when it was staged in the park.<\/p>\n

It has also been used as a filming location on several occasions, most recently appearing in the BBC One drama Virdee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

City Park will face competition from Crystal Palace Park Caf\u00e9 and the Stratford Town Centre Link.<\/p>\n

Architecture Today said the park had “helped unlock further regeneration”, played a “significant role” in the City of Culture bid, supported local economic activity and hosted more than 50 events annually.<\/p>\n

The award ceremony is due to take place on 17 September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The project, by Gillespies, cost more than \u00a324m to develop, and opened in 2012 \u2013 transforming a large…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40866,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-40865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40865\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
