Abstract
Pedestrianisation – the design strategy of restricting or removing vehicle traffic to prioritise pedestrians – requires longterm commitment integrating multiple perspectives, transdisciplinary work, and intersectoral approaches. Pedestrianisation directly engages with pressing questions about the future of inner cities. How can historically caroriented urban cores be redesigned to prioritise pedestrian-oriented public space without compromising accessibility and economic vitality? What shifts in the design practice are required to translate such longterm ambitions into spatial reality?
