PENDLE Council will choose this week from top architects who have come up with designs for a £20million project to revitalise a deprived area of Nelson.
The Royal Institute of British Architects launched a competition to revamp part of Whitefield which was saved from demolition two years ago.
Architects, designers and developers have been asked to come up with 'innovative' plans for more than 150 terrace homes, new community facilities and open spaces.
The contest follows on from last November's Enquiry by Design project and the successful team will have to come up with a blueprint and build their scheme.
Shortlisting will take place on Friday, and councillors, heritage experts, Elevate bosses and residents will choose the final six. There will be an exhibition and the winner chosen in February.
The future of the area has been uncertain for several years and residents fought to keep homes through two public inquiries.
