Placemaking is becoming a more prominent part of the urban planning landscape, but what does good placemaking actually look like, and what forms does it take? Let's take a look 👀 #placemaking #placemakingaustralia #urbandesign

I highly recommend "Great Estates, models for modern placemaking". Peter Murray OBE's foreword is fantastic summary of the benefits of having a long-term time horizon. Paraphrasing slightly: "London’s estates are custodians of a rich heritage of architectural significance and have played a vital role in preserving and maintaining this legacy, ensuring that the city’s history is protected for future generations. The estates adopt a long-term approach, ensuring the continuity and sustainability of their areas. This involves balancing commercial interests with preserving heritage, maintaining a sense of place, and considering the needs of current and future residents. Long-termism encourages sustainable development practices. It involves considering the environmental impact of property investments and management decisions. By incorporating sustainable features, such as energy-efficient design, renewable energy sources and eco-friendly materials, long-term property owners contribute to reducing their carbon footprint and promoting environmental stewardship. Long-term property owners are more likely to invest in the local community by supporting local businesses, infrastructure development and social initiatives. This contributes to a sense of belonging, fosters social cohesion and enhances residents’ overall quality of life. Long-term promotes better tenant relationships. Property owners prioritising long-term value are more likely to focus on maintaining high-quality properties, providing responsive management services and fostering positive tenant experiences. While historic estates dating back hundreds of years may seem an anomaly in the 21st century, in reality, they deliver essential benefits for the capital, its planning, architectural heritage, public spaces, stewardship and its future."

📦 IT’S PACKING TIME!! 📦 We leave the Genesis Building / Millfields Trust & Millfields Inspired in 4 days! KEEP YOUR 👀 PEELED because very soon we’ll be sharing exciting news about the different places where our core delivery will be popping up across the summer 🥳 Things I’ll miss about our current home: * dreaming into the stunning treetop views across the city through our windows * watching the baby seagulls growing their wings on the rooftop opposite * the amazingly soundproofed walls * the natural warmth created from being in an eco-designed building * the wonderfully caring and friendly Millfields team * having access to other cool spaces in the building * chatting with other Genesis residents * being in a fully accessible building with a lift * having several parking spaces of our own The only thing I won’t miss about our current home is the overtly ‘office-aesthetics’ feel of our space and our positioning at the top of the building, which together has created a degree of invisibility for our presence in the city and participants getting a sense of ‘that’s not for me - I don’t belong here’. However it’s not like we came into this with our eyes closed, I mean what else did we expect coming into an office building 😜 so it’s been a great learning curve for us about where we do want to be as a permanent base in the future. #carenestplymouth #relationalwellbeing #mindfulness #communitycircles #quietspaces #movinghome

"A mixed-use building that aims to fill many of the gaps in Jaywick’s needs."

"Placemaking" is in danger of becoming a meaningless word... taken over by a design-centric approach. Don't get me wrong. I'm passionate about great design and it plays an important role in placemaking. But it's the carriage at the back of the train, not the engine driving it. In REVITALISE YOUR TOWN CENTRE IN 7 WEEKS OR LESS, I unpack why placemaking is first and foremost a psychological task, and a task of turning 'customers' into 'citizens'. Yes, I do have a whole section on the role design plays. More details here: https://lnkd.in/gVzVymNR #placemaking #urbanism #towncentre #urbandesign

Carbon-Positive Hotel to Open in Denver Just days from opening, The Populus in Denver says it will be the only carbon-positive hotel.

To offset its carbon footprint even further, Populus secured tons of offsite tree […] Gillian Executive Search recruiters in construction management, real estate development, architecture
