Abstract:
This supplementary document summarises the key messages of Streets for All in the context of London. It begins by explaining how historic character adds value to the city’s contemporary public realm before summarising some of the priorities and opportunities for further improvements of London’s many streetscapes. London is a city of extraordinary history, vitality and diversity. But it is not only fine buildings that provide its special character. Just as important are its public spaces – the streets and paths through which people move and the squares and precincts in which they connect. Some of this public realm has evolved over hundreds of years and other parts are the result of more recent planned development. Between them, they are rich in character, though too often it has been degraded by neglect or the remorseless pressure of traffic. Today, the focus has shifted to making the public realm a better place for road and pavement users alike. As well as improving traffic flows this means placing a greater emphasis on walking and cycling, on the value of public transport, on public safety and accessibility for everyone.
