Properly conceived and executed, tall buildings are the key to making London more accessible for public use and solving some important environmental challenges too: Data proves that well-designed and appropriately located tall buildings are the most sustainable way for us to build our cities. By accommodating more people in cities, tall buildings help us protect the Green Belt and prevent urban sprawl, reducing the use of natural resources by enabling more people to use public transport, simultaneously removing cars from the road and improving air quality. Tall buildings have a critical role to play in addressing some of the most important social and environmental issues of our time and we can’t wait to see what emerges as they become capable of more inclusive and imaginative uses than ever before. Read Earle Arney's comment in favour of tall buildings: https://lnkd.in/eBqffMtj Image: Our proposal for 55 Bishopsgate.

How a Streetscape Master Plan Can Transform Our Neighborhood Have you ever walked down our business corridor and thought about how it could be more vibrant and welcoming? A streetscape master plan isn’t just about paving new roads; it’s a game-changer for our community, especially when it comes to creating public spaces. When streets are designed with people in mind, we naturally connect more with our neighbors. Think about pedestrian-friendly areas that encourage us to stop and chat. These interactions can foster a stronger sense of community as we exchange thoughts and ideas on neighborhood happenings or current events and issues - and actions we can take to get the outcomes we desire. A streetscape master plan is a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of life in our community by encouraging community interaction. Follow the link below to learn about the North 24th Streetscape Master Plan and its proposed improvements. https://lnkd.in/g8MJejwb #North24thStreetBusinessImprovementDistrict #North24thStreetscapeMasterPlan
