The idea
The creation of a Green Gateway as part of Our Fitzrovia ~ Clean Air Village
• To increase walking and cycling through enhanced connectivity and a transformed public realm
• To create a safer, inclusive environment for all through improved streetscape design
• To create a healthier environment through promoting sustainable transport alternatives and delivering mitigation to address vehicle emissions
OUR FITZROVIA AMBITIONS FOR OUR FITZROVIA GREEN GATEWAY:
• To create a visual gateway to Our Fitzrovia from Euston Road into Fitzroy Street building upon greening interventions already made by The Fitzrovia Partnership in 2019 with #FitzPark
• Strengthen the character, identity and biodiversity of Warren Street through enhanced and transformed public realm
• Improvements to the public realm on Fitzroy Street to enhance the relationship between the scale of the building frontages and the streetscape to create a more welcoming experience.
