The 2013 Chesterfield construction forum discusses the region's regeneration challenges due to industrial decline, alongside efforts to revitalize the area through various development projects, such as the £340 million Chesterfield Waterside initiative. Key improvements include new housing, a modern football stadium, and a high-end hotel, while the town aims to enhance its economic productivity and property market. Future development aims to create new jobs, improve quality of life, and strengthen the local economy with significant investments in infrastructure and commercial ventures.
