City Centre Theme - Public Realm
Creating high-quality, well managed and safe public spaces and the links between them will be one of our top priorities in transforming the city centre.
There will be a step change in the look and feel of public spaces, creating a coherent and easily understood network that people will be proud of and want to visit.
To achieve this, we need to develop a comprehensive Public Realm Strategy that defines and enhances the identity of different parts of the city centre and creates places where people want to enjoy the day-to-day activities of everyday life.
Included within this theme:
- Transforming Public Realm
- Safety
- Creating a Public Realm Network
- Key locations in the city centre
Public Realm
Public realm is the space between and within buildings that is publicly accessible and can include streets, squares, parks and open spaces. The Ambition identifies locations/routes that we think should be prioritised for public realm enhancement, either through the creation of new spaces, or improvements to existing areas. Public realm enhancements could include new paving, seating areas, planting and landscaping and creation of water features.
You can place a pin marker onto the map and add your comments to tell us:
- whether we have identified the right spaces and routes for enhancements to the public realm
- if there are any other areas we should be considering.
Dark blue lines = priority routes for public realm enhancements
Light blue areas = priority spaces for public realm enhancements
