Humanised streets: the context for successful place making

CABE recently initiated a process of dialogue and debate between experts in street design, inclusive design, risk and disability. The main aim of this process is to identify the common ground around what we all want from streets and civic spaces and to establish clear thinking on the strategies available for achieving these common goals. It will also inform CABEs evolving programmes of work on inclusive design and streets and civic spaces. This paper contrasts the European and the English context. It outlines the need for this work, explains the structure of the study, describes the process and reports the findings to date.
