Streetscape Guidance<br />

[Part A] A vision for London’s streets 10<br />

2.1 Planning for the future<br />

London is knitted together by a vast network<br />

of streets, roads, public squares, interchanges<br />

and junctions. Accounting for 80 per cent of<br />

London’s public spaces 1 , roads play an important<br />

role in our daily lives: as places where we live,<br />

work and move through. With such a high<br />

percentage of our public realm located on our<br />

streets, these spaces need to work hard to<br />

provide high quality places that are resilient,<br />

flexible and functional.<br />
