Cityscape 2008



Streetscene, the largest indoor representation of the public realm in the UK, will be the center piece of this years Cityscape, which is being co-sponsored by the Landscape Institute.

Designed by Landscape Architects Whitelaw Turkington and constructed by Skanska McNicholas, Streetscene will bring sustainability in Urban design to life. Streetscene will underline the importance of quality public space in supporting successful and sustainable places and housing, as well as the biggest annual exhibition of products and services for urban design and the management of the public realm.

My view on Cityscape this year was that it didn't reflect on how the landscape can be filled but how the hard landscape can be the key features in design. Can this be a good thing?, that question remains but with hard landscape mixed with soft a design can become an achievement and one designed to a high quality. More information
