HEALTHY, SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE STREETS FOR EVERYONE

The Hackney Vision is a plan to transform our borough and the way people move within it. The vision outlines how we can achieve these goals, benefiting everyone who lives, works and visits Hackney.
We have identified and mapped all the streets in the borough with their current interventions and suggested how the whole of Hackney could be modernised into a borough that puts people first. The proposed changes will reduce health inequalities, increase access to clean air and green space and put walking and cycling into the heart of our communities.
Active streets
The visualisations show how Hackney streets could enable active lifestyles, provide space for social distancing, and create sustainable communities.
