Public Space Design - Right to the Streets

The GM Moving Podcast

How do public spaces and streets play a role in supporting active lives for all? How do long-term planning and urban design, to the more immediate changes that local people can make to make the place feel welcoming and cared for, support safer streets?

Welcome to episode 2 of series 3 of The GM Moving Podcast. This is our Right to the Streets series where we invite you to join the conversation about what makes our streets, parks, and public spaces joyful, welcoming places.

We're joined by Elli Cosgrove, Director of CIC and Research at our Right to the Streets partner Publica, Activity Alliance's Sarah Brown-Fraser and Beyond Empower's Ben Andrews as we discuss the need to design accessibility into our public spaces. We'll also find out what the council's Civic Quarter Action Plan has in store for the areas around Trafford Town Hall and Old Trafford Cricket Ground with our guest Elizabeth Lewis, Heritage Development Officer at Trafford Council.
