THE ZONED ‘NEIGHBOURHOODS OF ACTION’ ARE CONNECTED AND PROVIDE A BRIDGEHEAD TO THE RYDE URBAN EXTENSION

• Create a public realm that improves the quantity and diversity of human interactions and everyday meetings and so increases the likelihood of future positive events.

• Combine and connect public spaces to make coherent networks for communal living.

• Build social life by making it easy for shared activity to happen in a public context, encouraging collaboration and participation that adds value to neighbourhoods.

This combination of locally distinct districts and neighbourhoods, with strong individual sense of place, well connected and permeable for pedestrians and cyclists, fostering the meeting of people and the exploration of a wide and varied public realm, must be at the heart of planning for Ryde.
