Shared Space |
|
Shared Space has developed a design manifesto for planning, management and maintenance of streets and public spaces based on the balance of traffic with other forms of human activity. Through the absence of traditional signage, road markings and humps and barriers, human behaviour is controlled by everyday life norms. They have work in partnership with local authorities in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Germany among other countries.
