Regent Street Today

Challenges

• Pollution from traffic fumes

• The area feels traffic dominated

• Unsafe - accident rate 17 times London Average

• Crowded pavements - tiring environment

• Clutter – further reduces pedestrian space

• No public seating

• A very dangerous/impossible climate for cyclists - difficult to make use

of the cycle hire system!

• One side is sunnier

• Buses block the fine views

Positives

• Unique place

• Offers quality shopping

• Easy access by public transport

• World-class architecture and townscape

The space can be dominated by traffic, the noise levels and

pollution are unpleasant

COMPARISONS

Moscow streets do not facilitating walking…

… which leaves few people present in the streets.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: STREETS

Squares are not inviting…

… leaving the few attractive public spaces overcrowded.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: SQUARES

Parks and waterfronts are under-utilized…

… and are therefore not used according to their potential.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: PARKS AND WATERFRONTS

Reclaiming our street

Focus on Making

Cities for People

When cities

attract people they

attract economic growth.
