Projects in practice

What public-realm work looks like across Kent and Medway

Three place-led examples showing how design, delivery, and local conversation can improve shared space.

Chatham High Street Pocket Square

A former vehicle edge was reshaped into a compact public square with safer crossing points, seating, and better day-to-day use for local traders and residents.

  • Safer crossings
  • Town centre vitality
  • Everyday seating

A continuous riverside route was improved with clearer wayfinding, widened paths, and practical landscape updates that support walking, wheeling, and informal social use.

  • Active travel
  • Accessible route
  • Waterfront identity
