Designers? Managers? Or the ordinary people?\u201d he suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is the\u00a0question that <em>Shanghai Street Design Guide<\/em>, a new design manual from the government\u2019s urban planners, sets out to answer. Published by Tongji University Press in October 2016, it makes the case for re-designing built-up spaces around the human experience, an idea that is\u00a0garnering interest across China.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb0c24b9-c89d-856a-33ed-e1cf60bdddd6\">So what might this look like in practice? The authors paint an idealised picture:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeighbours run into each other and chat by the side of the road, kids play on the pavement, lovers sit out and enjoy afternoon tea, runners take advantage of tree-shaded avenues, shoppers peer into shop windows, street artists immerse themselves in their performance\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, streets that belong to the people.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox pull-right\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p><!--End mc_embed_signup--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Compiled jointly by the Shanghai Bureau of Planning and Land Resources, the Shanghai Transportation Commission and the Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Research Institute, the bureaucratic roll-call might lead you to expect a dull and dry read\u00a0but surprisingly the book has the voices of people dead centre.<\/p>\n<p>It argues that it\u2019s high time that\u00a0streets were reformed. They should be places where residents spend most of their time, and the physical embodiment of a city&#8217;s history and culture. The model of\u00a0urbanisation that has privileged growth in car use must change. The roads must be reclaimed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrow road ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shanghai has been at the forefront of China\u2019s development, and the changes wrought on its streets echo those that have happened elsewhere across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The guide\u2019s first chapter looks back at the history of Shanghai&#8217;s transformation, to the colonial concession era, to the foundation of the People\u2019s Republic and the dawn of the <span id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb0c24b9-c89d-856a-33ed-e1cf60bdddd6\">21<\/span>st century. Key to its transformation has been how road networks\u00a0have expanded and become places for vehicles rather than pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb0c24b9-c89d-856a-33ed-e1cf60bdddd6\">During the concession era<\/span> (1863\u20131941) Shanghai\u2019s economy boomed and carts, cars and trolley-buses became more numerous. Streets gradually widened to meet the growing demand for transportation. After the market reforms and \u201copening up\u201d led by Deng Xiaoping in the 1980\u2019s, productivity increased and living standards rose across the city. People started to buy cars.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb0c24b9-c89d-856a-33ed-e1cf60bdddd6\">Road networks expanded to accommodate cars and ease their passage, turning streets into car-oriented spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By changing the dimensions of roads\u00a0the texture of the city was altered, too. Regulating the flow of traffic required roads to become wider-and-wider;\u00a0more\u00a0turns were added. The size of residential city blocks also became larger and the number of throughways within those blocks declined. Cars gathered on the main roads, which became badly congested.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce this, roads were widened again,\u00a0and Down\u2019s Law came into effect. This states that if governments do not properly manage and control congestion, new roads will create new traffic, and that traffic will always exceed the available capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, roads have come to prioritise the passage of vehicles, to the detriment of other users such as pedestrians and cyclists. Even smaller streets, where speeds are slower, are designed to serve cars rather than fulfil their original purpose of providing a public space for people to inhabit and communicate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International responses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These developmental changes are similar to those experienced in the US and Europe over the past 50 years although responses to the rise of car ownership have varied across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1970s, Holland came up with its <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Living_street\">Living Street<\/a> approach; the United Kingdom its Home Zones; the US its Complete Streets; Australia its Shared Zones; and Belgium and Canada the Woonerf (Living Yard).<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb0c24b9-c89d-856a-33ed-e1cf60bdddd6\">These approaches shifted the focus away from motorised transport and back to people, emphasising respect for the public\u2019s right to use the streets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cities also came up with their own design principles to suit their needs and reform their streets. The principles applied in New York, London and Abu Dhabi all have their own characteristics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The streets belong to people<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, China is trying to reverse decades of enthusiastic urban construction and bulldozing of ancient buildings by creating modern cities that are liveable, vital and individual.<\/p>\n<p>Better street design is key to this. And how Shanghai, which is at the forefront of China\u2019s urbanisation and modernisation, redesigns its streets will show the way for other cities.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than focus on motor vehicles and transportation, the guide suggests \u201cpaying attention to how people meet and live\u201d, and \u201cpromoting the joint development of neighbourhoods and streets\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The guide makes practical suggestions, too, such as reducing the space for cars, giving priority to slower forms of transport by creating space for walking, unhindered lanes for bicycles, tighter turns in roads, and improved pedestrian crossings.<\/p>\n<p>It also takes the needs of different groups into account, recommending the introduction of public spaces for resting, pavement cafes, street lighting, transparent building facades, and 24-hour security monitoring. Finally, it emphasises the value of local features that embody history and culture.<\/p>\n<p>Although aimed at urban planners, the book is big on public participation. Over one hundred experts from dozens of different bodies contributed, but tens of thousands of city residents provided feedback via questionnaires and discussions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A bigger shift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just Shanghai, cities all over China have been making their streets friendlier. Guangzhou has trialled street remodelling and produced the Guangzhou Comprehensive Street Design Handbook. In Luohu, Shenzhen, trials of local road improvements and urban views are underway, while Changsha is piloting a \u201cchild-friendly city\u201d project.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in China\u2019s cities, land is hugely valuable,\u00a0and various regulatory regimes and stakeholders will be involved in any street reform process, including urban planning, construction and transportation authorities, the police, parks and gardens, and grassroots government will all need to participate and cooperate. Progress will be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>But China\u2019s urban managers have already had to respond to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinadialogue.net\/article\/show\/single\/ch\/9853-Bike-sharing-schemes-Flourishing-or-running-riot-\">explosive growth in shared bike schemes<\/a>, which are challenging the car\u2019s monopoly over the roads.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb0c24b9-c89d-856a-33ed-e1cf60bdddd6\">Urban planners will have to be creative if they really want to give the streets back
