If you are an urban designer, planner, engineer or architect, or if you’re just interested in cities, try our new urban design database: https://www.holisticcity.co.uk/database
It’s a collection of over 3000 urban streets, public spaces, housing projects, street grids and junctions.
The idea is to make it easy to find real-world examples of how designers dealt with a particular location, corridor width or size, to provide examples and inspiration for how a new place could be.
You can browse these easily on a map, or you can search for particular types with numerical criteria – for example you can type ‘Show me streets about 10m wide’, or ‘Show me housing next to a railway’ or ‘Show me public spaces in Italy about 1.2ha’ and it will give you a list. Then click on a feature to see details.
