About arc Magazine

arc is a lavish publication dedicated to the regeneration of Sunderland, the North East town facing up to many of the issues confronting industrial cities across the UK. Its urban regeneration company Sunderland arc is guiding a £1.3 billion regeneration programme, in tandem with partners including English Partnerships, the regional development agency One NorthEast, Sunderland City Council, agencies such as Tyne Wear Partnership and in close consultation with local residents and businesses. Sunderland arc aims to use over £300 million of public sector investment to lever around £1 billion of investment from private sources.

arc magazine describes the specific development opportunities planned across Sunderland arc’s 542 hectare regeneration area, including 323 hectares of brownfield development sites. It presents interviews with the political and commercial, decision makers behind the programme and essential data for developers, investors and consultants.

“Arc magazine has proved a vital tool in communicating our message to thousands of people across the region and beyond at a crucial time for regeneration in Sunderland. We are delighted with the look and feel of the magazine. It is bright and eye-catching as well as informative and interesting to read as we purposely wanted to avoid a heavy, daunting document. As a result we have received a great deal of positive feedback from readers.” David Walker, chief executive, Sunderland arc.

"I was impressed with the magazine, good articles, interesting, good graphics and not too much advertising." Mark Hopgood, regional director for and on behalf of Faithful+Gould.

arc magazine is distributed to a targeted database of local and national residential and commercial developers, contractors, architects, engineers, letting agents, property analysts, fund managers, central government, planning authorities and bodies and other regeneration organisations throughout the UK.

arc magazine brings a fascinating example of regeneration to a wider audience, and provides the people and companies involved an opportunity to market their work and experience. It is published annually by 3Fox International for Sunderland arc. The first issue was launched in September 2007. To obtain a copy, click here. For sponsorship opportunities click here.
