Allen Scott worked in partnership with the Borough and County Councils, Metro Bus and the Business Improvement District to test ideas for improving bus stops locations. The aim is to encourage and increase the use of public transport by enhancing public realm in strategic locations across the Borough. Adopting a placemaking approach, Allen Scott led the design process and various stakeholders towards an agreed set of principles or success criteria, undertook site assessments and observations, prepared initial concept designs for a modular adaptable kit of parts and delivered feasibility studies for the preferred locations. This place–sensitive and design-led feasibility process has enabled a shared vision and a commitment to deliver meaningful public transport and public realm enhancements.
