SIX WORK PROGRAMMES 2022 > 2027
PROGRAMME 3: ENVIRONMENTAL & PLACE

Sustainability is an increasingly important factor for a multi-campus organisation in Fitzrovia but we can’t do it on our own. To deliver sustainable solutions, we need to work collectively as an area. The Fitzrovia Partnership is making this happen.

PROGRAMME 3: ENVIRONMENTAL & PLACE

PUBLIC REALM 

The BID has worked hard to create and maintain a district which is attractive and experiential for business, their employees, residents and visitors.

It has provided additional street management services, working in partnership with the local authority, and explored innovative approaches to create a cleaner, safer and more welcoming place. Importantly this has included enhanced security to tackle anti-social behaviour and street crime.

The BID is a leading voice on the wellbeing of our street environment and public space. Understanding a quality streetscape is essential for the area to attract businesses, retain staff, appeal to residents and enhance the visitor experience by offering a place to relax whilst increasing dwell time.

THE FITZROVIA PARTNERSHIP WILL:

TRANSFORMING FITZROVIA’S PUBLIC REALM

Our Fitzrovia Liveable Neighbourhood proposition complements the West End Project which has recently been delivered and would complete the transformation of the district’s public realm for everyone in the area.

Today, people expect much more from public places than ever before. Rather than wanting purely functional and safe places, the public realm needs to be a place for people to meet, to relax, to enjoy public art, for informal play and for alfresco dining. A place for trees and planting and one that mitigates the impacts of climate change.

To complement these large infrastructure projects our plans for Fitzrovia are designed to ensure the area’s public realm is fit for purpose and to delight workers, visitors and residents alike. Our ambition is to work with partners and stakeholders and to help deliver the following:

Fitzrovia will benefit from an enhanced public realm. The area’s unique charm and proximity to high footfall areas, in particular Oxford Street, together with its connectivity to wider London, the rest of the UK and internationally, makes Fitzrovia an ideal place to invest.

It is because of these factors that the case for investment in Fitzrovia’s public realm is strong too and will directly contribute to attracting visitors, workers and further inward investment, thereby creating a virtuous cycle of new businesses and jobs.
