FITZROVIA OPEN SPACE + PUBLIC REALM STUDY | DERWENT LONDON + LB CAMDEN
Urban Movement was commissioned by Derwent London + Camden Council to explore ways in which more public open space could be delivered in the Fitzrovia district of central London – information that could then be taken forward to Camden’s upcoming AAP. The need for more public open space is recognised by all local stakeholders, including property company Derwent London. The study explained how and where new public open space can be realised and sets out estimated costs for their delivery over the short, medium and long terms. Projects were also ranked in priority based on feasibility and effectiveness in delivering the right type of public open space in areas of most need due to limited resources.
We undertook a detailed site investigation of all publicly accessible space within the study area, which also included all the streets and roads as well as parks, gardens and squares. These spaces were extensively photographed and mapped according to typology and presented at a stakeholder issues workshop. Once all the baseline information had been collected and analysed, we identified a series of opportunities to create new public space. These were presented at a second stakeholder workshop and amended accordingly for inclusion in the final findings report and subsequent Camden AAP.
