Project objectives
Public realm is defined as the 'space between buildings' - the streets, spaces and movement corridors which form the framework for use and the perception of a place. As important as the buildings that make up a town, high quality public realm improves the legibility of a place. It adds to its attractiveness, safety and welcoming feel of a place and enhances the experience of citizens and visitors alike.
The vision for Swindon's public realm is 'A legible and integrated network of streets, squares, parks and other spaces that will positively transform the image of Swindon for residents, visitors, workers and investors.'
