Glasgow City Council
Project Description
Glasgow City Council is investing in the city centre to deliver quality placemaking & active travel infrastructure that will transform 17 streets and adjacent areas (or ‘Avenues’) in Glasgow’s city centre. The establishment of principal Avenues throughout the city centre to form an integrated network of continuous pedestrian and cycle priority routes rebalances traffic modes, introduces green and SMART infrastructure, and places ‘people’ firmly at the heart of the city’s vision and design strategy. The Avenues are a binding mechanism, integrating public realm and placemaking initiatives, making the city more attractive, ‘people-friendly’, and economically competitive.
Ironside Farrar lead the multidisciplinary design team taking the project from concept design and public consultation through to developed design stage and delivery. Stakeholder Management and ensuring stakeholder inputs and reviews has been a key part of the successful delivery of the staged ‘gateway’ design process. The process has aligned solutions to the technical challenges of the site / location with stakeholder needs.
Integration of Urban Design and Engineering along with Engagement have been fundamental to success. The design proposals have required close integration with Transportation Planners, Civil Engineers (Design Team & Regulators / NGO’s) with design adaption and development of new and innovative approaches whilst safeguarding the ambition and vision inherent in the Avenues Programme.
