Town centres and high streets have buildings and roads, but the spaces in-between are what hold them together as a place, the open spaces, squares, urban green spaces and the network of streets, pavements and pedestrian thoroughfares that knit them together. All too often, these spaces are used as no more than that – thoroughfares – and we start to forget that they can be so much more. This report, published by the Department for Communities and Local Government, describes the many different ways in which these under-utilised assets can be used imaginatively to revitalise high streets and town centres, thereby increasing high street vitality, attracting footfall and boosting local economies. It is full of inspirational case studies, and signposts some of the key documents, guidance, tools and sources of support that could help local partners re-imagine the urban spaces in their area to help revitalise their local high streets and town centres.
