About Healthy Streets for Surrey
Create Streets produced Healthy Streets, Surrey's street design code, following an extensive review of highways strategy and recent developments within the county.
Healthy Street's intent is to raise the bar for new streets and to guide the retrofitting of existing streets within Surrey.
Create Streets have subsequently supported Surrey County Council to create an industry leading digital platform that will make it simple for developers and residents alike to understand how new streets will look and function.
For too long street design has overly focused on streets' function of facilitating movement between places at the expense of their function as places. Healthy Streets for Surrey broadens the focus of street design to include health, happiness, prosperity and sustainability.
About Create Streets (the author)
Create Streets exists to help solve the housing crisis and to help neighbourhood, communities, landowners, councils and developers create and manage beautiful, sustainable places of gentle density that will be popular, are likely to be correlated with good wellbeing and public health outcomes and which are likely to prove good long term investments based on the historical data of value appreciation and maintenance costs.
Their goal is to make it easier to co-create beautiful, sustainable, prosperous, economically and socially successful places with strong local support and which residents will love for generations. Create Streets take an active part in the debate about the planning and design in the UK and beyond to help landowners, communities and governments support the creation of sufficient homes and places in which people can flourish.
