Fitzpark

Arup

FitzPark is a temporary and cost effective installation to promote a change in people’s attitude towards oads and inspire what city streets can be in the future. The installation was installed for six months and included informal seating, café space, work, play, events and education; it seeks to raise awareness of air quality issues, create more space for people, promote health and wellbeing, support local business, as well as improving the look and human experience of the city. The scheme was monitored throughout its duration in order to understand the social value of urban environments. A pre and post evaluation study of the project will enable the impact of the scheme to be captured and communicated.
