City Wayfinding

City wayfinding strategies have begun to be implemented as a crucial part of urban planning across cities worldwide

The primary focus of city wayfinding is the outdoor environment and as a result directing the public across a large scale wayfinding system. Therefore such large scale planning brings into consideration a vast range of users, from pedestrians to cyclists. It is vital to understand their typical routes and consequently analyse what can be done, improving each user’s navigation methods.

Our city wayfinding can also include the incorporation of local authority buildings which can be integrated into a large scale wayfinding strategy. Therefore driving a cohesive system of communication both internally and externally. As a result helping develop a user friendly city and a positive brand image.

Effective wayfinding for towns and cities is incredibly complex and hence can only be achieved by understanding the in-built cognitive mechanisms by which human beings navigate. Consequently we can then harness them in the correct manner.

Town and City Wayfinding
Our knowledge of City Wayfinding where and when to position information is key. As a result we understand the cognitive processes and workings within our subconscious which can render visible signs useless. In creating a solution, our consultative approach means we examine ways people perceive space and as a result how they navigate through complex environments. Consequently asking many questions to arrive at the correct solution.
