The Edinburgh Standards for Streets propose a mechanism for achieving improvement and coherence in the public realm. The Standards are based on a review of the Edinburgh Streetscape Manual and it is intended that they will illustrate the extent to which guidance can be given by good design in the context of existing legislation and the need to balance Streetscape issues with transport safety matters.
- Parts One and Two set out the Principles for Streets and the delivery mechanisms,
- Part Three, outline detailed design guidance for specific activities undertaken in the street.
- Appendices, set out the historical context for streets and include a report on setted streets prepared by Edinburgh World Heritage and BGS.
