Project Background
Launched in March 2021 the first ‘Your Streets Your Way’ competition was an initiative to support a green recovery from the pandemic. The competition enabled local people to design 10 new public spaces across Lambeth and win substantial cash prizes for their efforts. Proposals ranged from planters and seating, to mural designs.
Earlier this year (2023) Lambeth Council launched the second round of this competition for another 10 locations across 7 areas in your borough.
Local Judging Panel
A group of local community leaders, organisations and residents with strong connections to Lambeth borough have been brought together to judge the submissions and ensure local priorities are being considered.
We Made That
We Made That have been commissioned by Lambeth Council to use their design skills and experience to manage this competition and support the submissions of participants. We Made That are architects, urban designers and researchers who create equitable places through incisive research and impactful projects. They work exclusively for the public sector and charities and are committed to delivering public good.
The Big Shift Programme
The Big Shift programme is part of achieving Lambeth Council’s objectives set out in its Climate Change Action Plan and its Transport Strategy to help the borough achieve its Net Zero goal by 2030.
By helping free streets from traffic congestion and toxic pollution we can make Lambeth a healthier, more economically vibrant, and more enjoyable place for everyone to live and work.
The Big Shift programme is about helping everyone in Lambeth to find walking, cycling and wheeling easier, safer and more pleasant for everyday journeys.
The many initiatives that are part the Big Shift programme are set to make cycling far more accessible for everyone.
