Infrastructure that puts people first is the key to revitalising urban spaces

Bosco Lam Wilkinson Eyre

By prioritising human-centred design, we can create infrastructure that not only meets practical needs but enriches the lives of those who use it, says WilkinsonEyre’s Bosco Lam

Last month, the government brought forward the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which aims to speed up and streamline the delivery of new homes and critical infrastructure. As architects, we have been pushing for this for some time, so it is promising to see that the government recognises the need to build more to deliver economic growth.

At WilkinsonEyre, we believe that infrastructure should serve the people who use it, enhancing their daily lives. We have also been lucky enough to lead some of the largest and most exciting transport projects in the UK – including works for HS2 and the Elizabeth line.
