Use lockdown easing to transform communities
K Fallon, Islington, full address supplied, writes:
Islington has seen great change during the current pandemic, with offices, shops, restaurants and other businesses forced to close, and many of us working from home.
With more of us spending time locally, now is a great time to consider how our streets can be a resource for all residents, especially those most in need.
On successful city streets, as author Jane Jacobs argued, “people must appear at different times”. More human interaction helps to reduce crime, while mixed-use neighbourhoods also engender trust, since neighbours get to know each other more easily. We already know this human interaction is promoted by reducing motor traffic, as we have seen here in Islington with the St Peter’s People Friendly Streets scheme.
