Streetscape Guidance
Informal spaces
The creation of temporary and reversible city living
spaces can support local initiatives to give streets
a radical makeover in low cost and imaginative
ways.

management
More dynamic information
We are promoting the use of cutting-edge
cooperative technology at TfL to communicate
with all streetscape users in real time to examine
and improve customer experience, reliability,
safety and the environment. Trials in this area
include a real-time, state-of-the-art digital
screen mapping tool at a Regent Street bus stop.
The bus stop incorporates a data feed of live
departure information. We share information
across the modes and work with businesses to
make this information accessible to all.

4.6 Changing behaviour and enabling
different choices
Land use planning
High density, mixed-use development schemes
with embedded walking and cycling infrastructure
can ensure that travel by foot or cycle is the
most competitive option for short and medium
journeys. We are working with developers to
promote schemes that implement car-free and
‘car-lite’ proposals, including the provision of
Mayor’s Cycle Hire Scheme and/or car club
infrastructure to offer an attractive alternative to
car ownership or use.
