Bournemouth - Regeneration of "The Square"

At a meeting of the Sustainability Group of the Exmouth Town Management 12 Decermber 2002, the revitalisation of Bournemouth's town centre (The Square) was sited as an example of how a "piazza" design could transform a traffic dominated town centre.

The examples and papers circulated at that meeting are included here for interest and background. The two pictures on the right (larger versions can be viewed by clicking on the thumbnail pictures)

show "The Square" as it was in the past and the way it is now with most of the traffic excluded.
