"Creating a city centre which is beautiful, economically vibrant and happy means designing it for people. Other cities have demonstrated that the way to do this is to remove the dominance of motorised through traffic from the heart of the city. Bordeaux, our French twin, has done it years ago; the areas of that city released from congestion have thrived; the pleasure of being a citizen or visitor there is immeasurably improved; the economic vitality of the city centre is there for all to see. Access is maintained for all who need it. The living heart of the city is able once more to be enjoyed by all.  That is what we aim for. "
