Designing streets for people: how highways and transportation professionals can help make better places

The Streets for People series of workshops was funded by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and English Heritage and delivered by the Institute of Highways and Transportation between 2004 and 2006. The series aimed to inspire and empower professionals to work towards achieving great places, as well as to expand the numbers of highways and transportation professionals with a working knowledge of urban design principles. This report continues the work by spreading the key lessons from the Streets for People workshops even wider. It introduces seven key urban design principles and outlines how to overcome some common barriers. It underlines CABE's belief that individual acts of leadership at all levels can help to deliver streets for people.
