Student urban design project: Sense of Peckham

Message from Peckham Vision

Over the last few years our work in promoting local ideas about revitalising Peckham town centre, and through our website at http://www.peckhamvision.org has drawn lots of students from different professions to use Peckham town centre as a case study. Below is some information about the student’s project which was displayed at the event in the Old Waiting Room on 31st March.

Message from Laura Jagota:
I am studying for a Masters in Urban Design at Leeds Metropolitan University. For my major design project I have chosen to look at Peckham Town Centre. Peckham’s vibrant and historic character presents many opportunities and I am excited to be working with such a dedicated community. I hope that the ideas from my project will inform the future plans for Peckham. I am therefore very keen to get your views about my ideas. Your comments will help me to develop more detailed proposals, which I aim to present to the community at a future event.

I presented my work at the meeting on 31st March in the Old Waiting Room. The information displayed there is available to download on the website at http://www.countryscape.org/sense-of-peckham. It includes a site analysis of the area and ideas for potential improvements. They are in three parts:
* Sense of Peckham 1 : The site analysis identified some of the issues in Peckham Town Centre, such as narrow pavements and large amounts of traffic.
* Sense of Peckham 2 : Find out about the history and character of Peckham which has formed the basis for the vision.
* Sense of Peckham – creating the vision : Have a look at the initial ideas for addressing some of the issues in Peckham Town Centre.

Comments are needed by Friday 22nd April. You can do this by
