Accounting for 80 per cent of London’s public spaces 1 , roads play an important role in our daily lives: as places where we live, work and move through. With such a high percentage of our public realm located on our streets, these spaces need to work hard to provide high quality places that are resilient, flexible and functional.

[Part A] A vision for London’s streets 11<br />
With London’s population expected to reach<br />
10 million people by 2031, road journeys are<br />
anticipated to increase to 24 million a day<br />
exacerbating congestion on our roads. To combat<br />
the effects of population growth a more efficient<br />
and balanced transportation network is required<br />
to respond to ever increasing demand.<br />
Several policy documents are in place to steer<br />
the development and maintenance of London’s<br />
road network, including the Mayor’s Transport<br />
Strategy (MTS), the Roads Task Force’s (RTF’s)<br />
The vision and direction for London’s streets<br />
and roads, and Better Streets. Each document<br />
plays a separate yet vital role in determining how<br />
transportation shapes the Capital.<br />
