Design for movement: Complete Street Design

Streetscape in Budapest

Landscape Architect Peter Piet, Associate Director at Steer Davies Gleave gave an inspirational talk to the students about the complete street design last week at our MA design studio. In his talk Peter explained the guidelines for successful complete street design and showed examples from all over the world. As urban population is increasing day by day and the cars are domination our cities, the streetscape has shifted its character from a civic space to arteries of vehicle movement. Peter gave us fascinating examples from street design across the globe how both can be achieved by creating hierarchies in the use and movement through good quality design where streets become enjoyable, walkable and functional public places in our complex cities.
