Barcelona is always at the top of the list when it comes to finding precedents for street trees and boulevard design. What I appreciate most about these streets are the expansive space left for pedestrians, which is almost as much as the street itself. It would be incredible if more designers took this image into perspective when they began to think of their ideal “town centre boulevard”. I wish us all to stop designing 3ft wide medians that can’t even hold enough soil for trees, and start making more spaces for people to occupy the streets (safely).
