Manual for Streets - Carlisle
Date: Thursday, 11 March 2010
Location: Crown Mitre Hotel, Carlisle, Cumbria
Time: 09:30 to 16:30
Manual for Streets, published March 2007 by the Department for
Transport, gives new advice for the design of residential streets
in England and Wales. It represents a strong Government and Welsh
Assembly commitment to the creation of sustainable and inclusive
public spaces.
There is a need to transform the quality of residential streets,
and this requires a new approach to their provision. The Manual is
aimed at any organisation or discipline with an interest in
residential streets, ranging from access officers to the emergency
services. The importance of joint working among practitioners is a
key feature of the Manual.
This workshop will give an overview of the Manual for Streets
and outline the principles of successful street design. The
workshop will focus on a local and relevant case study site,
providing hands-on guidance and expertise.
