Transforming the Streets and Spaces: Public Realm Asset Audit
The EC Partnership recently commissioned Publica to produce an Asset Audit to bolster our knowledge of the public realm and private spaces in the footprint to establish a series of projects to deliver. We wanted to better understand how the public and private spaces work within the footprint, how people currently use the spaces across the area and what the potential is for access, quality and experience to be improved.
This Asset Audit is an important body of work which puts a laser focus on one of the most important issues: the role and quality of public (and private) spaces across the area. There is growing recognition that public realm can and should do more to support the growth and evolution of the area, arguably even more in the post COVID era.
