How to make great streets

Commences at7pm (bar open 6pm)

Streets make up the majority of Londons public realm; as such they should be places where human movement, interaction and exchange take precedence over the need to keep traffic flowing.

Join Movement for a Liveable London and Andrew Cameron, Director of Urban Design at WSP Group for Junes Street Talk to discuss how Londons streets can be redesigned to reduce the dominance of the car, give priority to people and encourage walking and cycling. What are the key ingredients of a great street? How do we reclaim our streets as social spaces - places for loitering, strolling, sitting and gossiping?
