ReclaimingtheStreetsseries

In 2020 and 2021, we held two digital competitions exploring potential redesigns for urban spaces traditionally given over to cars, including roads, pavements and private parking. We asked students from nine UK universities to imagine vital new ways to use these transitionary spaces in the future, taking into account density and sustainability as well as changing patterns around cycling, public transportation and private car ownership.

Entrants for each competition joined us over video conference for a digital charrette, then presented their final designs – refined over several weeks – to a panel of judges online.
