Скачать или смотреть Matthew Carmona - The problems, potentials and complexities of mixed streets

Matthew Carmona, Professor of Planning and Urban Design, University College London, UK at the OECD Conference on SMEs and the Urban Fabric, 15-16 April 2019, OECD Trento Centre, Italy.

High streets are places of great contrast and variety in London and UK. There are two narratives about them. One sees them as idyllic suburban places, the other as chaotic and polluted. The reality is that high streets are places of great complexity. An entire mixed-use ecosystem thrives behind the thin crust of retailers visible from the street. Nowadays, high streets are endangered due to the crisis of the retail sector. Effective public policy will have to acknowledge the complexity of high streets and engage actively beyond “deregulating”.
