public space
I want streets where people like to spend time and where there's life. Where they stop on the way home from work for some music, a dance, a glass of wine, or just sit down on a bench and read a book. How do we get there? Decide what each space should offer and whether cars have to be everywhere, or whether we can leave them out in some places so they don't form a wall of vehicles. Public spaces, schools and public buildings need to be connected by comfortable paths for pedestrians, prams and bikes. Complemented by the right street furniture (drinking fountains, public toilets, bins...) along with good public transport, these changes can brighten up lots of streets and even create opportunities for local businesses.
