Morice Town was selected by the Department for Transport as one of nine national Home Zone pilots to ascertain best practice and to identify how Home Zones can be best integrated into residential areas and accepted as part of British society. The initiative has sought to regenerate Morice Town, an area within Devonport, Plymouth, which was significantly rebuilt after World War II. Home Zones are residential streets in which the road space is shared between drivers and other road users, with the wider needs of residents being accommodated. They are about promoting quality of life through context-sensitive design. This article discusses the vision, the implementation, and the outcome of the Morice Town Home Zone.
