The document discusses principles from the Manual for Streets 2 for designing streets. It outlines 7 key principles: 1) taking a multidisciplinary team approach; 2) prioritizing place over traffic movement; 3) designing streets to integrate communities; 4) establishing a user hierarchy with pedestrians first; 5) investing in streets as they represent most public space; 6) not always prioritizing traffic capacity; and 7) minimizing signs and street clutter. It also provides examples of techniques for decluttering streets and redesigning them around these principles.
Principles for Urban Street Planning; The case of Khartoum cityKhalafalla Omer

Public streets in Khartoum city evolved in colonial era as a cross-grid networks, with high capacity for different mode of mobility that serve the high income people, official professionals and labors working in the administrative zone of the city. In contrast, current public streets become a source of air, waste, visual pollution and traffic congestion with law capacity for social accessibility and mobility. In addition, Irregular, dark dead-end and unpaved streets is among other reasons that makes streets a source of crimes and traffic accident.
On site observation shows that lack of appropriate sustainable plan, automobile growth, lack of eco-friendly vehicles, poor traffic management and inadequate side building architecture designs are among the reasons of current problematic situation. Traffic management analysis proves that claim, the ratios of Land Allocated to Streets (LAS), Intersection Density (ID) and Street Density (SD) indicate very low rate of street mobility and accessibility compared to other cities in developed world or even developing countries.
Rabid slum urbanization has led to uncontrolled urban sprawl, unplanned socio economic activities and a raise of different mode of mobility. On the other hand, city plans tend not to accommodate the new urban forms to enhance the sustainability of public streets, this is because streets had been planned as a pathway for private vehicles rather than a place for public good.
However, there are many embedded opportunities for tactical urbanism solutions. First, appropriate examination of social mobility and accessibility raises some long term solutions when plan for walkability and public transportation, due to the reality that public transport and walkable lanes has 12 time more capacity for mobility than car lanes, taking into consideration that 80% of trips to schools, markets, social visits and entertainment places are taken through public transportation or by walking, while most of city streets has a capacity to add 1-2 lanes at each side of the drive way. Furthermore, there is an opportunity to make streets eco-friendly place due to availability of resilient trees of Copperpod, solar energy resource and high capacity for low cost vernacular architecture and green streets designs. Nevertheless, in the time of financial resource scarcity, reaching viable public steers is obtainable through cost effective budget allocation, use of plastic road construction technology and incremental area based plans.
The addressed challenges and opportunities required a shift collaborative plan approach to create livable, ecofriendly, accessible and viable streets that would involve different city urban actors to brought a well-structured public street plan that works for public good.
This presentation highlights the importance of Roadspace Allocation within transport planning and illustrates how to develop a successful Roadspace Allocation Framework. Further to this the presentation gives an insight to understanding and meeting user requirements. It then progresses to utilise various case studies in Birmingham to further demonstrate how these frameworks can be put into practice.

Radburn, New Jersey is a town planned in 1929 by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright and landscape architect Marjorie Sewell Cautley.
It is based on Radburn Theory of Town Planning.
It is America's first garden community serving as a worldwide example of the harmonious blending of private area and open spaces.
The intent was to built a community which made provisions for the complexities of modern life while still providing open spaces and being economically viable
The community was intended to be a self sufficient entity with residential, Commercial and industrial areas each supplementing the needs of others.

Planning & Urban Design Principles for Non-PlannersVierbicher
Much of the development that has occurred in Wisconsin and around the nation over the past 60 years has created a feeling of sameness from community to community. Our development pattern has separated uses from one another and catered to cars at the expense of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The New Urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant mixed-use communities built with integrated housing, employment, shops, and schools. It is a revival of the lost art of "placemaking" to raise our quality of life and standard of living by creating neighborhoods, not just subdivisions, and building main streets, not just shopping malls.
In a world of rapidly increasing urbanization, striving to develop more livable cities, the city’s streets designing and planning should be high on the agenda for policymakers, city planners and other practitioners, as well as researchers. Designing streets is not as easy as it might originally seem, however, done correctly it means that one third of the city was designed successfully with an immense impact on the rest of the city. The key challenge in developing sustainable and fulfilling streets is to develop an integrated approach in planning them, where it is necessary to consider all aspects involved. Meanwhile, efforts devoted to this topic vary considerably from place to place. Thus, this paper aims at discussing the main elements involved in designing streets for a livable city, in a comprehensive approach including pedestrians, vehicles, and parking areas.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
21. Principles
1. Work as a team
2. Place then movement
3. Streets are integrators of communities
4. Hierarchy of users
5. Invest in streets
6. Traffic capacity should not always be the primary
consideration
7. De-clutter
22. 1. Work as a Team
A multidisciplinary team approach to design is essential
and must be used.
Designers need to interact together to get the best design
solutions. They also need to be able to think for themselves;
to innovate and to use their judgement and undertake
their own studies and research. Many busy and rural streets
require a ‘non-standard’ approach to respond more to
context.
There must also be consultation and participation with
local groups and communities.
23.
24. 2. Place then Movement
Consider Place then Movement.
As well as the creation of great streets and spaces that work in
terms of place and movement there are other considerations
such as the cultural benefits of civic places; the health of
communities and their well being and how places can adapt
and be flexible over time; whether it be 24 hours, weekly or
annually.
25.
26.
27. 3. Streets are the integrators of communities
Streets should integrate not segregate communities and
neighbourhoods.
We must create networks of streets that are connected.
Streets need to have crisscrossability. Pedestrians like to walk in
direct lines which are often straight – note that the ability to
cross on the diagonal is often very desirable and should be
catered for – hypotenuse observing pedestrians - ‘hops’.
28.
29.
30. 4. Hierarchy of Users
Consider the users of streets and places in the hierarchy that
was developed in Manual for Streets:
•Pedestrians
•Cyclists
•Public transport users
•Specialist service vehicles (e.g. emergency and waste)
•Other motor vehicles
When considering pedestrians include those who may be
disabled i.e. how do we create an inclusive environment. Also
think about children – in particular the ability for play.
31.
32. 5. Invest in Streets
Streets are by far the greater part of the public realm, over 80%
of our public space is in the form of streets, and hence are the
main investment in the public realm that is made.
Their layout will generally outlive the buildings that front them
so investment in them, getting it right and maintenance are
key to building places that will sustain.
33.
34. 6. Traffic capacity should not always be the
primary consideration
Often when dealing with the rejuvenation of existing busy
streets there can be a desire to undertake works and to
maintain or improve traffic capacity.
‘Place’ needs to come before ‘movement’. It may be
acceptable on occasions to compromise the capacity and
/ or speed of traffic to create quality places.
This approach will certainly need to be tackled through a
team approach and my also need political support.
35.
36. 7. De-clutter
Lines, signs, posts etc should be kept to an absolute
minimum.
The majority of signs in our urban and rural environments are
not required.
The start point for any well designed street is to begin with no
signage and then see what is legally required; any additional
signage above this needs to be carefully considered.
Street furniture needs to be considered carefully so that it is in
keeping with its environment and will be used and can be
maintained.
37.
38.
39. Putting towns and cities together
strategic streets
look at what we’ve got already
encourage innovation
96. The Walworth Road, omits central line markings are omitted, carries some
20,000 vehicles per day, including up to 180 buses per hour.
97. This junction has the Give Way marking and the approach triangle but no
Give Way sign. It would have been possible to omit the triangle. Note also
table to slow speeds and make pedestrian crossing easier.
102. Lowly, un-purposeful and random as they appear, sidewalk contacts are
the small change from which a city's wealth of public life must grow
