To support planning, you need to know where the pedestrians are, who they are and what they do. Without this informa-tion, it is impossible to plan a working pedestrian environment.
The citizens are experts on their own ar-eas, and also the end users of the urban spaces designed. A working dialogue with various interest groups guarantees a satisfying result for everyone.
It is not necessary to implement every-thing at once. Instead, you can take small steps to test how the area develops and how it should be developed in the future.
Public spaces need to be continuous-ly developed. People and their needs change, and the city should change ac-cordingly. A functional public space can be altered and developed in the future.
Develop continuously Start with small
actions Include interest groups in the
plan-ning process Study the pedestrians
Set goals and vision
Design goals and visions should be de-fined before starting planning. It is diffi-cult to achieve any goals without a clear objective.
