Are you ready to revolutionize the way you think about cities? For too long, the design of urban environments has been left to the experts, with little regard for the way everyday citizens experience these spaces. But that's all about to change.

Introducing 'Quality Street: Preventing the Next Urban Blandemic' – a dynamic collection of essays that will challenge everything you thought you knew about navigating and shaping our cities. We've gathered insights from academics, designers, practitioners, and city inhabitants to create a truly groundbreaking journal that we're sure will blow your mind.

Edited by graphic designer Paula Minelgaitė and urban design specialist Isabel Syrek, 'Quality Street' weaves together research, practice, and lived experiences to create a truly unique perspective on urban environments.
