The primary public areas of a city act as its vital organs. So do the streets and their pavements. Places like these are organic and complex. Design is simply a small element of the details that go into crafting the ideal public space. This is not something you can expect to get perfect initially. In reality, the greatest areas are ones that evolve as time goes on. You can experiment with short-term enhancements that you can then test over time. Saying this, there are guides and tips you can use to set the foundations for the space.

Simple designs

Firstly, try to keep things simple. During the project’s initial phases, retain an adaptable and simplistic design. Make sure it is one that allows you to make improvements in the future. In time the community will give you a better idea of what they want for the space. You can then adapt it so you cater for all of their needs. In turn this will complement your buildings.

Accessibility

The public space has to be accessible for everyone as well. The best spaces offer choice, safety, and ease to individuals when they move through and to different areas. However, there is something that many people tend to overlook here. It is assisting people with moving around and understanding how everything functions. This happens to be one of the essential parts of the design too. What you need to do is create wayfinding signage and paths. Do so to enhance the connectivity, orientation, and accessibility of functions and spaces.
