Discussion document showcasing 5 city centre schemes that have been delivered, 3 in progress and 10 areas of the city centre that are in need of reworking.
On the page near the end presenting the principles underlying the proposals:
“The public realm examples given in this booklet have evolved through careful consideration over the last decade. The principles related here illustrate the attention that has been observed in order to enable the public realm to be robust and sustainable. Building from the initial concept of a ‘blank canvas’ approach and simple, minimal background for the city spaces there are now three layers of principles that assist us in creating quality public spaces for the future. These include the Leeds City Council Urban Design principles for public realm and the QPS (Quality Places and Spaces) principles that have been instrumental in informing our work over recent years. Recently also Leeds City Council Highways have been examining highway principles that will see us in the future enjoy a safer environment with less signage and less barriers. The result will be a built environment where all road users feel equal, speeds are low and pedestrians have a higher quality of life”.
