Improve urban structure
W
Improve the mental map of the city. Celebrate arrival in the city by strengthening the identity of gateways and entry points. Develop a second tier of landmarks in the outer city, making use of the dramatic skyline and topography to develop a sense of place in the currently indistinct suburban districts. Simplify road corridors by de-cluttering and introducing consistent roadside treatments. Highlight landmarks and special buildings through de-cluttering and lighting. Identify viewing corridors, improve vistas and extend public art provision to develop informal legibility within the wider city.
