Up to 750 seriously ill children and their carers arrive at Great Ormond Street Hospital every day. And so, like the streets outside most London hospitals, Great Ormond Street is busy with traffic. We’ve been working with the #hospital on plans that could reclaim road space to create a playable, #biophilic landscape with a series of garden rooms. This change would dramatically improve local air quality. Doorstep play would also make a big difference to the children’s experience of being treated at the hospital, and there would be respite too for carers and staff. The plans balance #placemaking with the necessary hospital logistics and the hope is that by creating London’s first ‘Healthy Hospital Street’, other hospitals across the city might follow. So, it’s wonderful to see this ambition recognised at the inaugural Healthy City Design awards, with a win for #community impact. Great Ormond Street’s Magali Thomson and LDA Design’s Scott Carroll were there to pick up the award. Well done, everyone. Great to see this work recognised.
