Active Travel England! NPPF Footnote 56! Manual For Streets 3! The Design And Placemaking PPG! And… The VAWG Strategy?

Or, can we really deliver safer streets for women and girls?

“For too many people in this country, walking is not simple or straightforward. For too many, particularly women and girls, it comes with a calculation – a constant, exhausting mental calculation – about safety, lighting, routes and risk. Rather than get excited about the destination, too many are forced to fret about the journey.” – Lilian Greenwood

It turns out there actually is an overlap between placemaking and the VAWG Strategy!

But, are there enough women in the placemaking professions to push the agenda for women-centric streets or are we just going to end up with more DMRB nonsense?

Get all the juice in this week’s Sketch!
