Good Streets: Where happiness and safety intersect
Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2023
Planning streets and public spaces that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities requires balancing how people move through the space and the experience of spending time in it. Some of the most celebrated places around the world are those where this balance has been realized. Spaces that feel calm, inspire social contact, and make residents and visitors feel happy. Through a mixture of research and real-life examples of safe, well-designed streets from Europe and North America, Melissa will present why spaces designed for the safety and comfort of vulnerable road users can positively impact the well-being of all citizens no matter their age, gender, or ability.
