Designing the Human Suburb
Pedestrian friendly places just don’t happen, they need to be planned from the beginning not an add-on. Post War suburbia dominated by the car infrastructure has determined who we are, yet many have sought to be more grounded in stronger community links through walkability and cycling. However, these aspirations are rarely delivered, hence why we need this document to guide developers, governments and planning professionals from the very beginning, to deliver true 15-minute neighbourhoods.
This performance-based urban code provides the guide to how future suburban development can put people first and become more vibrant, more sustainable and more prosperous than maintaining the status-quo which is failing us. It doesn’t eliminate vehicle access, because this is still important it just restructures the suburb in putting people and their movement first.
