Permeability and Accessibility from Surrounding Areas
In many cases, the linearity of these parks corresponds to their location adjacent to a linear infrastructure: railway network, river, highway, etc. In most cases, this will mean that the linear park does not adjoin the urban fabric on one of its boundaries, and therefore, results in less safety for users. That is why it is very important to permeabilize its adjacent strip with the urban fabric.
- Enforce greater permeability of adjacent buildings through construction regulations.
- Add multiple access points.
- Adequately illuminate the park’s perimeter.
- Ensure visibility by removing opaque objects that obstruct sightlines.
- Provide multiple bus or public transport stops near entrances.
- Install bicycle parking near the entrances.
- Activate perimeter streets with businesses or hospitality spaces.
- Ensure there are parking spaces for people with reduced mobility.
- Reserve parking for taxi stations.
