Connected Places
Public space is all around us and we use it every day: the streets we use to get to work or to shops, the parks where we walk the dog, the playgrounds where children play, the corners where you bump into friends, recreation spaces such as allotments and sports pitches, and the squares used for festivities and markets. It is experienced close up by residents and visitors as they move around and provides an important social space for meeting and encounter.

A well designed and maintained streetscape has a wide economic impact- increasing footfall within town centres; social impact, increasing conviviality through events, accidental meeting and socialising; and health benefits, encouraging people to spend time outdoors.
