Abstract
This research paper is the research that will be comple- mentary to the mobility hub design made for Architectural Design Crossovers Graduation studio. The aim of this research is to find out which urban design interventions are needed to move the city of Lon- don out of the car and get them to walk, cycle and use public trans- port. First several concepts are discussed that form the theoretical framework. Then the research starts with positioning within literature about design handles for implementing cycle infrastructure. After, the future of mobility is discussed and several precedents where the car was removed in favour of pedestrians and cyclist are analysed. The findings are then bundled and implemented at the design site in Il- ford, London. The result is an urban proposal for the area, with a focus on slow traffic and the transfer to public transport, which the design of the graduation studio will build further on.
