Across Greater Manchester, almost two thirds of all car journeys are less than 5km and in a bid to re-examine the balance between vehicles, bikes and people, Transport for Greater Manchester has launched its innovative Streets for All programme. Streets for All is about creating better places for a future Greater Manchester, creating streets that balance the movement of people and goods with the inclusion of more people-friendly places. Streets for All explores the critical role that streets across the region play in creating sustainable, healthy and resilient places. Using a combination of data appraisal and site analysis, Layer.studio are leading urban design/place analytics and concept designs for the A6; a key radial route connecting Stockport to central Manchester. The study will define a set of recommendations around movement and place driven street typologies and locations for a series of interventions that will address key priorities such as improving connectivity, tackling congestion, reducing air pollution, encouraging active travel, supporting public transport and thriving district centres.
