Solihull ‘Urbs in Rure’ Public Realm Strategy

Entrant's Summary: The Solihull ‘Urbs in Rure’ Public Realm Strategy, a contemporary revival of Solihull’s ‘town in the country’ motto for a healthier town centre. A public realm masterplan to shift from grey to green, from cars to a people first environment that will attract investment and diversification, whilst addressing future societal needs and climate challenges. A powerful statement of intent on a greener, more socially engaging centre, bringing environmental, physical health, social, wellbeing and economic benefits for a more sustainable and resilient town centre. One that delivers on the project’s health objectives and Council’s wider sustainability and net zero goals.
