Case Study: How we create better pedestrian experiences
A pedestrian experience refers to what it feels like for a person walking through a place — how comfortable, safe, enjoyable, and convenient it is to move around on foot. This could be: safety, lighting, comfort, wayfinding, aesthetics or accessibility. Working with partners, Liverpool Business Improvement District has been working hard to improve, maintain and go above and beyond in ensuring the city is vibrant and thriving.
