Ben Hamilton-Baillie, one of the UK's leading practitioners in street design and placemaking is coming to Leeds Met to deliver a lecture on current thinking, practice and issues surrounding traffic movement and the concept of shared space. 

The need to reconcile traffic movement with the quality of public space in cities, towns and villages is widely recognised.  We all use public or pivate transport to move around and we all want beautiful and safe places to live and work in.  Shared space is one approach to resolving this issue, with a number of high profile schemes (eg Exhibition Road, Kensington and Ashford Ring Road in Kent) being delivered over the past decade where principles have been put into practice and from which experience has been gained.

This is a great opportunity to hear Ben's views and knowledge on the application of shared space principles and to see which direction street design in our urban centres is moving in.

The event is being jointly promoted by the Yorkshire & Humber Branch of the Landscape Institute, the Quality Places and Spaces Group of the Leeds Chamber and Leeds Metropolitan University.
