Public Realm Design Framework

In April 2022 Barnet Council appointed Momentum Transport consultants and Soundings to develop a Public Realm Design Framework for North Finchley Town Centre.

This document is part of a wider piece of work launched by Barnet Council to develop a Public Realm Design Framework for North Finchley Town Centre. Developing this framework together with the local community is key to programming, structuring and guiding future improvements to public spaces in the town centre, ensuring it is a vibrant place to live, work and visit for all. 

For context, the public realm refers to all spaces outside and between buildings, including parks, streets, pavements and playgrounds, serving a critical role in our health and well-being and profoundly shaping our day-to-day experiences. 

In summary, delivering this project will involve the three stages listed below: 

  • Stage 1: Co-defining the Principles 
  • Stage 2: Co-developing the Principles 
  • Stage 3: Refining the draft Framework
