- W606648410 abstract "Birmingham City Council commissioned Urban Design Studies in late 1989 to complement work carried out by LDR on ways of humanising the legacy of the existing major city centre roads. This article summarises the principle findings and recommendations of the City Centre Design Strategy that resulted. The initial survey which took place within the Middle Ring Road is briefly described. Building heights, materials, focal points, views and development patterns were noted together with pedestrian links, existing and missing, and open spaces. Birmingham developed as a utilitarian industrial city which imposed artificial levels on an interesting topographical form. Suggestions are made for reclaiming and emphasing land form and for the introduction of green spaces into the city. Views and vistas are identified for protection and unattractive facades recommended for enhancement. Recommendations are made for improving pedestrian and motorists' routes by better links, landmarks and less grade separation. Other important aims are to redefine the street pattern, downgrade the urban motorway, provide a more sensitive treatment of New Street Station and realise the potential of Birmingham's canals. Distinctive 'quarters' were identified and more detailed recommendations made for the treatment of each." @default.
