The article explores the concept of urban legibility, introduced by urban planner Kevin Lynch, emphasizing the need for intuitive city designs similar to user experience (UX) in digital interfaces. Cities can be challenging to navigate due to a lack of clear pathways and identifiable landmarks. Initiatives like Bristol Legible City focus on improving urban navigation through consistent signage, clear mappings, and user-friendly systems, aiming to enhance the overall experience for residents and visitors, thereby improving urban quality of life.
Structured wayfinding initiatives such as Bristol Legible City and Southampton Legible City demonstrate how cities actively enhance their legibility.
Urban environments require intuitive designs, achieved through clear pathways, distinctive landmarks, well-defined districts, and easily identifiable nodes or gathering places.
