Renfrew Town Centre – Design and Traffic

This proposal was submitted in response to an invitation from Renfrewshire Council requesting proposals for the preparation of Design Proposals and Guidance for Renfrew Town Centre and Renfrew Riverside Urban Extension.

The study brief describes an interesting and demanding piece of work that has the potential to help assure the future competitiveness of a worthy historic town, make a significant step towards the regeneration of the Clyde Corridor and ensure integration between the Town Centre and the Riverside Extension.

In approaching this work, we decided at an early stage to break ground as far as the traffic element of the work was concerned. We invited Martin Stockley Associates to join the team. We adopted an innovative approach to resolving distinct traffic issues by structuring new development and its associated spaces in a beneficial manner, resolving potential land use conflicts between old and new and setting new standards of public realm in the area.
