JUST STREETS  is a  HORIZON Europe  funded project coordinated by  Fondazione LINKS. It aims to transform cities’ car-centred mobility narratives that take for granted that streets are for motorized traffic only, promoting walking, cycling and other active/sustainable modes of mobility. The project is putting marginalised social groups, at the core of decision-making to create better, more just, and sustainable cities for all citizens. 

JUST STREETS encompasses a team of 30 partners from 17 European countries, including 12 cities 2 representing more than 4.5m citizens. Cross River Partnership is leading pilot activity in London and will be sharing the results with our European partners.

CRP is working with 3 London delivery partners to deliver interventions across London:  

• The London Borough of Lambeth will be creating safer and more pleasant environments outside of schools by prioritising children, while reducing road danger and improving air quality. This exciting programme will see greening, seating and play introduced to reimagining what the space outside a school can look like when reducing car dominance.
• Harley Street BID will deliver a parklet with seating and planting to create greener, fairer, and safer streets for residents, local businesses and local visitors to the area. 
• Camden Town Unlimited will create a connected and strategically located walking route for all considering local cultural influences, green space and current and future projects, such as the Green Loop and the Camden Highline.  

The Just Streets London project interventions have been designed to be delivered over the period up to June 2025, with ongoing benefits continuing for Londoners beyond then.
