Shop Talk 02: The permissive street

The street is probably the most important public space in a city, connecting us directly to each other, taking us places and providing a space to meet, occupy, enjoy and walk through.

The point of departure for this discussion is the sum of possibilities of a street being a space to inhabit. A public space inviting for all, where people of various backgrounds, ages and lifestyles can meet, stay and in some way share values and together shape a community.

We would like to endorse assets of a mixed city where buildings and urban spaces can be used for different activities and programmes, where one can do various things and allow for a change over time. Forming a street is essential for all parts of city development, mobility, landscape design and green areas, safety, trade, industry, residential areas, and is closely linked to all levels of sustainability discourse.
