Master Plan

All colours used in the project attracts the kids and the use of colours in the junction shows the importance of designing spaces for kids in an urban developement.

The site acts as an edge that is surrounded by various activities. Ouseburn may be developed to attract kids, and designing student housing would bring in revenue because there are so many educational institutions close by. Colourful attractive playground designed in the centre open space bounded by the buildings. Including play areas for children and green infrastructure has led to greater brain development in young children.

It is essential to think about a street design that encourages learning and play among children. The first three years of life will lay a solid basis for a child’s cognitive skill development. Hence designing tangible aspects like textures, colourful materials, lighting, interactive places, and sensory play components might result in a child-oriented street design (National Association of City Transportation Officials, 2022).
