Publica

Publica is an urban design and public realm practice, specializing in strategies and design for public space, urban design, and master planning. They offer comprehensive advice to major stakeholders in urban development and work across all scales from single streets and spaces to master plans and area strategies.

Publica's work is grounded in rigorous local area research and analysis, which is used to produce evidence-based innovative proposals. Their portfolio includes a major City of London spatial strategy for the Barbican and Golden Lane area and a vision and strategy for the Northbank, from Trafalgar Square to Aldwych, among other influential projects.

In London’s West End, Publica is leading or working on five out of the six major transformational projects. Their notable projects include the restoration of Hanover Square, Marylebone Lane, and Bond Street, enhancing their character and celebrating their heritage.

Founded in 2010, Publica brings research and intelligence to the process of urban change, believing that the quality of the public realm is defined not only by its spatial and physical characteristics but also by social and cultural conditions. They are committed to creating principle-led design briefs and proposals for public spaces, contributing to the enhancement of urban environments.
