70 Start with the park 5. Legibility ‘Cities need hidden spaces and exposed spaces, rough spaces and smooth spaces, loud spaces and silent spaces – spaces where people remember, experience, contest, appropriate, get scared, make things, lose things, and generally become themselves.’ What are we scared of? (CABE Space 2005) Different people interpret green spaces in different ways. Space should be designed to allow for choice, play and experimentation in how it is used and experienced. The design of the public realm should reflect a balance between the need to manage the risks associated with a more stimulating environment and the need to create different types of spaces that allow for different kinds of behaviour and demands. A vista – a view past a series of landmarks – can help people orient themselves. Routes through a space can be designed to emphasise a series of views, providing a pleasant sense of variety to anyone moving through it. A good choice of planting can ensure that these views change throughout the year. Green Flag Awards recognise clear and appropriate signs and information inside and outside the site. Legibility – ease of understanding – is particularly important where safety and ease of movement are paramount. Such spaces might incorporate pathways, landmarks and gateways to help people orient themselves
Thinking about design 71 Focal points on busy routes create nodes where people can gather ‘Most of us can remember that...as children... we needed places where we could run, explore, play with our friends or be on our own to look and wonder, think and daydream and make amazing discoveries.’ What are we scared of? (CABE Space 2005) Remote and quieter green spaces enable people to contemplate and relax, and require a degree of separation from other uses Visible routes and destinations, and a clear choice of routes, will contribute to making a place that feels safe and unthreatening
