Market Street, Oxford for Oxford City Council with Urban Movement and Civic Engineers

The project, in collaboration with traders, locals, visitors and businesses, focused on movement and public space in Oxford to prioritise access and servicing. Completed for £138 per sq m in just three weeks, it demonstrated how significant change can be achieved with minimal disruption and budgets. The design has inspired other local authorities across the UK, and led to a 24 per cent increase in footfall along the street, showcasing the success of the transformation.
