ELEVEN.. New developments around Cambridge

Cambridge... ... and the surrounding area will soon come under immense pressure from several new residential developments which are either being planned or built. From the Southern Fringe in the south to Arbury Park in the north, Marshall’s Airport site in the east and Northstowe in the west, the next few decades will see a major increase in housing, people and traffic.

Transport authorities and developers have a fantastic opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past. New developments do not suffer the same space constraints as the existing city streets and therefore there is an enormous opportunity to create a cycle network that will make a genuine difference to the way people travel and commute.
