Regeneration, Public Realm, Place Design & Built Environment
For many of you, the built environment will be at the heart of your projects, and the town centre requires consideration in all deals. Furthermore, a well-designed and managed public realm can be an engine for one of the most precious parts of a thriving community – its social capital. We are here to support you in achieving a holistic and integrated spatial solution to your projects; our team includes urban designers, landscape architects and architects, amongst others, who can support your thinking on making the most of these projects.
The type of support we can offer includes:
access to support material and guidance on world-class design principles
design charrettes or review workshops on town proposals with experts
workshops to develop design objectives and visions for projects
hands-on advice and support on issues such as options development, refining project design, defining outcomes and design narratives
learning bursts, workshops and seminars designed and delivered online
