Streets are multi-functional spaces, vital public areas as well as transport routes. Getting the balance right is crucial and fundamental to how we make our towns and cities more livable. Paving the way is more than a design manual – instead it examines the decision-making processes that create our current streetscapes. It endeavors to get behind the finished product to understand how and why it was created, how it is cared for, and by doing so, identify the impediments to the creation of good streetscape.
