How could Newtown look without cars?

In a world where cars have become ingrained in our daily lives, it can be challenging to envision our neighborhoods free from their traffic. However, we've used a new website which offers a glimpse into what our streets could look like if entirely pedestrianised.

We've harnessed this cutting-edge tool to reimagine the main streets within Newtown. The results are striking, depicting these streets adorned with lush greenery and exuding an enhanced safety for both cyclists and pedestrians.

These images draw inspiration from the Dutch model of active travel, which champions a seamless network of cycle paths, thoughtfully marked and meticulously maintained. Notably, these pathways are brilliantly illuminated, and intersections harmoniously prioritize cyclists. In the Netherlands, the urban planning process is deeply attuned to the needs of cyclists, ensuring their preferences are accommodated at every stage. The urban landscape often takes the form of living streets, where cyclists and pedestrians are prioritized over motorized traffic.
