As proposed, Harlow North would be designed – from the largest scale to smaller details – to create a real town. Its streets, public spaces, buildings, materials and details would draw upon local traditions and high quality contemporary design to create a settlement that has identity, variety and richness.

The emerging plans for Harlow North draw from established urban architectural patterns and traditions, informed by the local and regional context. Collaborative planning that engages the local community in the design process will ensure the best understanding of these.
