Welcome
A massive regeneration programme is now creating a new chapter in the history of Gloucester, building upon its world-class heritage and releasing its potential as a city for the 21st century.
The Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company Ltd (GHURC) is responsible for this renaissance and for the attraction of £1billion of private sector investment to the city in the next ten years.
