£26.40 (Incl. VAT)

Join the discussion between New York and London on rethinking streetscapes to prioritise people, create dynamic and sustainable environments, and enhance the public realm.
Following the NLA ‘Public London: Activating the City’ report, this event brings together experts from New York and London to share insights on rethinking streetscapes by reallocating space in favour of people. 
 
Focusing on two globally famous streets, Oxford Street in London and Fifth Avenue in New York, we will explore the transformation needed to create dynamic, sustainable environments and enhance the public realm, strengthening the global status of both streets. Both Oxford Street and Fifth Avenue are prominent retail and tourist destinations facing significant transport and mobility pressures. The discussion will highlight the importance of partnerships and long-term strategies.
 
In London, Mayor Sadiq Khan recently revealed plans for a new Mayoral Development Area, which includes Oxford Street and its surroundings. The creation of the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) highlights the critical role of Oxford Street for London and emphasises the need to transform and revitalise the street, enhancing the pedestrian experience. In New York, similar efforts will be discussed to make Fifth Avenue more welcoming and functional for people. 
 
This event forms a part of the NLA City Dialogues programme, which brings together speakers and audiences to foster cross-city dialogue and learning between cities.
