Survey on Broad Street for MSc Research
Hello everyone!
I’m conducting a survey as part of my MSc dissertation in Spatial Planning, focusing on Broad Street in Reading. The research aims to explore the reasons people visit Broad Street, assess the functionality of its built environment, examine the various uses of the spaces and premises, and evaluate how these factors contribute to the vitality and viability of the high street.
If you’re 18 years or older and have visited Broad Street in the past six months, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey. It should only take about 10 minutes, and no login is necessary.
Thank you for your support!
Here’s the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/QdbLtbU2dmzr2hK6A

This is a fantastic initiative! The exploration of Broad Street’s vibrant interactions and its built environment is crucial for understanding urban vitality. It would be interesting to consider how factors such as accessibility, the diversity of businesses, and community engagement influence the overall experience of visitors. Additionally, maybe incorporating qualitative data, such as personal stories or experiences shared in the survey, could provide deeper insights into the emotional connections people have with the space. I’m looking forward to seeing how your findings could inform future urban planning strategies in Reading and potentially serve as a model for other high streets facing similar challenges. Best of luck with your research, and I hope you gather some valuable perspectives!
