It explores the latest changes in approach to planning, urban design and 'place shaping', encouraged by government and other organizations, and fleshed out in adopted guidance such as the Manual for Streets. Focusing on external surfaces, it makes the case for precast concrete paving as a modern, flexible and sustainable material capable of meeting the latest planning policy demands. It then goes on to demonstrate techniques and best practice for using precast concrete paving to create vibrant and accessible external spaces for sustainable communities.
