Farringdon Urban Design Study
Farringdon is a ‘fringe’ on the edges of three local authorities. A focus on the railway corridor/Farringdon Road and the new Crossrail station there and Smithfield have been required to deliver new urban interiors complementing limited public space and to ensure permeability. The project included detailed guidance for the public realm as well as options for development.
The public realm led masterplan includes details for improving streets, alleyways and the station environs to make most of Farringdon as it is and guide new development associated with the Crossrail Station, which will open in 2017.
