EXPANSION OF PEDESTRIAN SPACES THROUGH ROAD SPACE REORGANIZATION IN THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER, UNITED KINGDOM

Road space reorganization is an effective tool for solving urban issues. This paper focuses on the Strand Aldwych project implemented in the City of Westminster, exploring pedestrian space design process and implementation system involving administrative organizations and local communities. By road space reorganization, the City of Westminster was able to expand pedestrian areas, improve air quality and reduce traffic accidents, effectively addressing urban issues. The realization of this project involved engaging stakeholders through workshops and public consultations, and a system that allowed administrative staff to be consistently involved in the project without transfers, thereby ensuring consensus with local communities.
