About

George Street/Harbour is a central urban district directly north of Aberdeen city centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by dense rows of traditional granite tenements and some modern apartment developments. Its streets follow a tight grid pattern, leading down towards the industrial activity of Aberdeen Harbour. The ward functions as a practical residential zone for the city, with local shops and services lining the main thoroughfares.

The district is defined by its proximity to the working port, with the harbour's commercial operations forming a constant backdrop. A notable local landmark is the large, circular Mercat Cross shopping centre, which serves as a major retail hub for the area. Public green space is provided by the Victoria and Westburn Parks, offering recreational areas amidst the built environment. The ward's identity is closely linked to its mix of housing and its immediate connection to the city's maritime economy.
