Leeds Liveable City: Here’s a Plan for Eastside

By Chris Matthews & Adrian Jones

This is a plan to help realise the potential of Eastside. It is evident that creating a more people friendly and environmentally sustainable Eastside requires a very big reduction in traffic. The starting point of the plan is to put pedestrians first and create much better, direct pedestrian routes across Eastside. Also, to recreate an attractive urban structure the buildings need to relate to the pedestrian environment with active frontages to animate them.
