New Road in Brighton is a newly completed pedestrian dominated shared space which provides a high quality route through a cultural quarter, designed by Gehl Architects, Landscape Projects and Martin Stockley Associates. It is now a pedestrian dominated space which allows uncontrolled access to vehicular traffic. New Road contains two theaters, numerous cafes and bars and abuts a public park. The result of the implementation of this scheme is the increased time pedestrians spend in this street, which in turn reinforces this area as a cultural district and a place in which to inhabit and enjoy.
