3.3 The Public Realm

Pedestrian Hierarchy

Key Streets and Spaces Plan

Click on the plan to enlarge it.

The adjacent diagram identifies a hierarchy of streets within the city centre.

This hierarchy is not intended to be rigidly applied or followed as there will be exceptions.

Within the city centre there are clusters of institutions, retail/commercial uses, public transport services and pedestrian streets, which develop a hierarchy of routes for the public. These routes pass through and link the various quarters of the city centre.

Strategic Pedestrian Routes: linking the main institutions, retail/commercial uses and transport services.
Key Pedestrian Routes and spaces: providing the main links within and between Quarters.
