CNU Transportation Summit in London

I have an extensive blog that covers each day of the CNU Transportation Summit (Nov 12 - 14) on the CNU website. Highlights include street design guidelines; London's congestion charging; a tour of Kensington High Street; the links between transport, urbanism and climate change; and a tour of Poundbury. See: www.cnu.org/node/1628 for the fully summary.

Kensington High Street. The sidewalk pavement change is actually a small cross street.

Kensington High Street. The streetscape furniture was kept to a minimal stainless steel look.
Kensington High Street. The median with bicycle parking and trees.

Poundbury. The smaller village square that was built first.
Poundbury. The narrow road widths vary throughout the development, one of its more interesting characteristics. Poundbury. Yes, the trees are planted in the road and separate parallel parking opportunities. Rick Hall (CNUer) is taking out his camera for a picture of these too. Poundbury. These perpendicular parking spaces look like they are long enough for a motorhome for no apparent reason. One of the less successful streetscape elements.
Poundbury. The pavement change actually runs around this small square, partially as a traffic calming device. The street (from where this picture was taken) jogs when it goes through the square and continues on (in the background).
