From traffic in towns to people in streets
Newly published research from one of our Board Directors, Dr Jonathan Flower, in collaboration with Prof. John Parkin and Prof. Ian Walker, reflects on Colin Buchanan's report from the 1960s, Traffic in Towns, and explores what it would take, some 50 years later to replace this image with people in streets.
The project highlights:
-
For marginalised street users mode separation is the key to human-scale movement,
-
Streets conducive to walking and cycling have functional, safe and accessible design,
-
Professionals must approach street design, regulation and user behaviour holistically,
-
Combinations of influencing factors persuade people to either use or avoid a street, and
-
There are no easy fixes to the public realm that will work for all non-drivers.
A paper will be published in an edition of Transportation Research Part F in the New Year, but you can have a sneak preview online: Excluded by design: Barriers to human-scale travel revealed through marginalised groups' experiences of streets .
