"This document has been produced to guide designers and other interested parties in the development and introduction of the Mini-Holland Programme. The guide includes our street typologies developed specifically for the programme, as well as examples of great cycling and walking infrastructure from elsewhere in the UK, Europe and further afield. It also includes examples of changes that can be made to our residential streets to make them better places for all, and particularly those people wanting to walk and cycle.
