The Barbican is a forward-thinking urban development project by the Corporation, transforming a heavily blitzed area into a modern, coordinated space. It features pedestrian bridges, integrated historical ruins, and segregated pedestrian levels. The first phase includes banks, shops, and restaurants, while the second phase will introduce residential areas with amenities like swimming pools, schools, and cultural venues. The project aims to revitalize the city with a vibrant community and cultural life.
