Planners, engineers, urban designers and architects face major challenges in trying to accommodate a growing range of demands on limited urban street space. 'Link&Place' provides a systematic approach to identifying and assessing competing demands and developing balanced design solutions. Using showcase examples, interactive exercises and practical trials attendance on this course will build knowledge of:
- The concept of Link (street as a movement conduit) and Place (street as a destination) and the impact that this concept has on current thinking in street planning and design
- How to develop and put in place an integrated approach to accommodating street needs and requirements
- How to develop a clear and focused strategy for street networks
- How to ensure a balanced design centred on people's use of the street
- How to engage more effectively with stakeholders
- How to assess street performance and appraise any proposed solutions in an integrated manner
This course will benefit a broad spectrum of practitioners and policy makers from the private and public sector concerned with the planning and design of urban streets, including:
- Transport planners and traffic engineers
- Town and urban planners
- Urban designers
- Street managers
- Architects
- Academics and researchers
The course will be presented by Prof. Peter Jones of University College London and strategic transportation consultant Natalya Boujenko, both authors of the Link&Place Guide and longstanding practitioners and trainers in this field.
Course costs:
The course runs over a full day and costs include lunch and refreshments. Each delegate will receive a personal copy of the Link&Place Guide to Street Planning and Design (normal price £45).
