EIIPR Programme aims and objectives
• Avenues will be used as the binding mechanism to integrate
regeneration and place-making initiatives
• Principal Avenues throughout the city centre will introduce an
integrated network of continuous pedestrian and cycle priority routes to
connect key areas and transport nodes and link the city centre with the
surrounding neighbourhoods
• They will be a visible and tangible demonstration of the City’s intent to
transform the quality of the environment and its readiness for climate
change
• They will incorporate gateways around the city centre to make it easier
and more attractive for pedestrians and cyclists to cross physical
barriers, like the M8
• Objectives: improved connectivity, pedestrian-friendly street design,
greening, smart infrastructure, surface water management solutions,
underground/pop-up services
