Can you imagine a city where people are prioritised over vehicles?
As part of the Liveable City competition hosted by the Leeds Civic trust, we have been exploring opportunities to create better connections between the Eastside of Leeds and the City Centre.
This area is due for a large amount of residential development and although close in proximity to the urban centre, it is dislocated from it by the national rail line that carves across the city East-West, and the A roads North-South. These leave an uninspiring and increasingly dangerous route for walkers and cyclists in and out of the city.
We conceived a safe route, with pockets of greenspace and overpasses leading to a new urban forum – a destination that provides much needed neighborhood amenities but is also celebrates of the identity of the Eastside.
