[sustran] Re: car-free residential developments

[Rye, Tom]

Hey-up Philine

Try getting in touch with Richard Finch at Camden Council in London.  He's
been on a few Euro projects so you should be able to get his email off the
web (if problems try Sarah Wixey wixeys at wmin.ac.uk she will definitely have
it).  I would not be surprised if they've come up with design guidelines.
Edinburgh I know has not.

How's the paper outline coming on?

Subject: [sustran] car-free residential developments


Dear colleagues

does anyone know of any guidelines for the planning of car-free housing 
areas in terms of path, building and block layout, geometry, width, 
length, quality of open spaces etc.?

There is a lot of material on footpaths and cycleways in combination 
with motorised traffic, for pedestrian zones within city centres and for 
home zones/Woonerf/Wohnstrassen but I have so far found nothing that 
would help set parameters for the planning of larger car-free housing or 
mixed use areas.

Any helpful hints gratefully received!
