Making High Holborn and Proctor Street safer, London Borough of Camden for London Borough of Camden

The first stage of the Holborn Liveable Neighbourhood scheme transformed Drake and Proctor Streets by reducing traffic to one lane, dedicating space to buses, taxis and a segregated cycle track. A ‘cycle gate’ was added at High Holborn junction, along with rain gardens to manage water and enhance biodiversity. So far, walking has increased by 35 per cent and cycling by 84 per cent, while traffic volume is down 15 percent.

CB1, Cambridge for Brookgate with Robert Myers Associates and RSHP

The 9.9-hectare site around Cambridge Railway Station was redeveloped with a masterplan by Richard Rogers and RMA, emphasising green streets, public spaces and improved pedestrian and cycling connectivity. Historic structures like the mill and silo were preserved, and construction artefacts were repurposed. A cycle park, the UK’s largest with nearly 3,000 spaces, promotes cycling culture. £30.1 million was spent on station upgrades, highways, public spaces and community engagement initiatives.
