New London Architecture

Street space for London: the beginning of a new era?

Talk

Thursday 18 June 2020
09:00 - 10:00

The Mayor of London has launched ambitious new plans that will dramatically transform London’s streets
The Mayor of London has launched ambitious new plans that will dramatically transform London’s streets to accommodate new cycle lanes and space for walking. As lockdown restrictions are eased, public transport will face challenges to respond to social distancing rules while meeting demand. 
 
The plans will give a boost to active travel modes while discouraging the use of private cars as an alternative to public transport. 
 
The opening webinar of the NLA Active Travel Summit will focus on the new Street spaces for London plans, how the vision will be implemented in the short term and how areas of London will be dramatically transformed to make space for people walking and cycling.
