Preparations for pedestrianisation.
Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.
Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.

We haven't needed any more case studies on pedestrianisation since 1962.
One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Why the fuck does it matter what Rob Schneider says? It's like saying "John Nettles calls for the pedestrianisation of Norwich City centre".

Unsurprisingly to folk who follow pedestrianisation:
A review of the data has shown that pedestrianisation of Shrewsbury Town Centre has increased footfall, increased the value of purchases made, and increased the profitability of businesses in pedestrian areas.

Fantastic progress being made by Camden Council team in the pedestrianisation of Camden High Street.
Removing the traffic has made it so much safer - and now the street is being made welcoming and fun.

Still an insane country where the deputy prime minister has to "back" pedestrianisation works. That's why England looks like it does.

Worth reflecting on some of the big wins in European cities in recent years. Brussels has seen a large scale pedestrianisation of its city centre. A slightly bumpy road, but quality of life has really improved. #brussels @brenttoderian.bsky.social @americanfietser.com
