the vision was required to act as a framework for the creation of a concept design for the Street’s future public realm.

the commission sought to consider issues of concern for local people, introduce new voices to discussion over the future of Redchurch Street, bring opinions together and formulate a vision for future consideration by the public.

at the core of this approach was a desire to:

• make Redchurch a more inclusive, accessible and resilient street

• promote difference and diversity

• start to create a greater, more equitable relationship between Redchurch Street and its neighbourhood

• enable onRedchurch CIC to work more collaboratively and effectively in future

many constraints were outlined in the brief, including fire access and differing views of residential communities on the Street, the economic and social needs of the area and contradictory views on key issues, such as transport, traffic and the impact of hospitality and other commercial services on local people’s quality of life.
