Project Scope

Urban SF developed, manufactured, and delivered the hundreds of street furniture elements required for this extensive greening project on a tight timescale and within a closely controlled budget.

The project is part of an 18-month temporary traffic order to widen pedestrian space and reduce the volume and speed of traffic. As part of the project, the clients required sustainable, aesthetic, structural planting containers to replace temporary plastic road barriers, which had initially been used.

Working collaboratively with Architects BDP from their initial concept, on site contractor FM Conway and Clients, The Crown Estate and Westminster City Council, Urban SF developed a fully defined solution which was manufactured, assembled, and deployed to site at the speed and scale require to meet the clients compact schedule for opening the scheme.
