To enlarge our imagination and develop new tools for better streets, the Future Design of Streets association shares ideas and explores new ways for street design—projects and processes—bringing together experiences and knowledge from different areas.
We are a knowledge platform involved in several projects (academic research, strategic planning, manuals, street design) and organising various exchange activities (workshops, courses, debates, conferences, exhibitions).
We work together with designers, researchers, planners, politicians, and citizens. We also published a book about streets.

Streets are important spaces in urban areas and form resilient collective spaces for all of us. Now and tomorrow. Within the balance of new societal, sustainable and technological challenges and demands, street design must be redefined. In five sessions ´the Future Design of Streets´ was explored by various speakers from different urban territories. What are possible new strategies for street design? Who is using the street space? What are new requirements? And, how can we design to improve streets?
