Big changes coming to New Bern Avenue! Raleigh's revving up its first bus rapid transit line, and that means big things for New Bern Avenue! ️ Here's the lowdown: 👉 More housing options: Expect a mix of apartments, condos, and even some single-family homes along the way. 👉 Easier commutes: Dedicated bus lanes will mean faster bus rides for everyone. 👉 Thriving neighborhoods: Mixed-use development opens up more shops, restaurants, and things to do in your area. This is just the beginning! The first section runs from downtown Raleigh to New Hope Road, and construction is set to start this summer.

HARWORTH’S BLUEPRINT FOR GROWTH ✅ Sustainable urban expansion – let’s build at scale, in the right places    As our chief executive Lynda Shillaw says in our Blueprint for Growth film “You can’t contain everything to brownfield sites and within city centres. You have to assemble land in the right place and at scale.”   We need to unlock more land for development, and not just brownfield. The Green Belt has an important role, but its size (12.6% of land in England) and a short supply of brownfield land is preventing the delivery of much-needed housing and employment space across parts of our country.   Land should be released in strategically appropriate locations – including areas close to major transport hubs – to enable large-scale development, drive socioeconomic growth and improve life outcomes.   At Waverley, on the site of the former Orgreave Colliery in South Yorkshire, we’ve seen the benefits of large, well-planned, strategic development, working in partnership with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.   With over 1,700 homes, a primary school, emerging high street, new community park, a world-leading Advanced Manufacturing Park and connections to Sheffield and beyond, it is driving growth in this part of the region.    Read our proposed policy proposals for sustainable urban expansion in our Blueprint for Growth below 👇     https://lnkd.in/et7DkaYe #sustainability #communities #growth #regeneration

Plano, Texas, is leading the way in innovative redevelopment projects to manage its rapid growth and evolving economic landscape. The city, which has seen its population increase from 260,000 in 2012 to nearly 292,000 in 2023, is focusing on transforming vacant spaces into vibrant mixed-use areas. Projects like the revitalization of Collin Creek Mall and Assembly Park are key examples of public-private partnerships that aim to create modern, dynamic spaces for residents and businesses. Plano has also launched an office modernization grant program to incentivize property owners to update their facilities, ensuring the city remains attractive to businesses. These initiatives reflect Plano's commitment to growth and redevelopment while preserving its unique identity.

The past is part of the blueprint for the future. The Heritage Action Zone in Bradford, supported by a £2 million grant, showcases an effective approach to urban regeneration by using the city’s rich architectural history as a catalyst for future growth. While focused on restoring historic buildings, this initiative integrates these assets into a broader strategy for economic development, community engagement, and sustainable urban planning. These historic structures have the potential to attract investment, boost tourism, and create jobs. The decision to preserve and repurpose them reflects a growing understanding that heritage is a dynamic part of modern urban life. Bradford’s approach serves as a model for cities seeking to balance preservation with progress. This commitment signals a shift in how cities view historic buildings, recognising them as opportunities for sustainable and inclusive growth. With thoughtful planning and investment, heritage sites can become the foundation for a city’s economic resurgence.

Covid helped us collectively understand just how important parks are to building healthy, thriving cities. Now, demand for more parks and greater access to public spaces in urban areas seems to be higher than ever. But with many municipalities running soaring deficits in the wake of the pandemic, how will North American cities meet this public need? In a recent essay published in Municipal World Magazine, STUDIO tla’s Jeffrey Craft argues that Public Private Partnerships (P3s) are one answer. Citing examples in Toronto, New York, Dallas and Chicago, Jeff outlines how major cities have successfully employed P3s to deliver critical infrastructure and public amenities–specifically parks and open space–for growing cities that cannot afford to build and maintain themselves.   Read the article: https://bit.ly/47oEFaH   #Parks #PublicRealm #PublicPrivatePartnerships #P3 #UrbanDesign #LandscapeArchitecture #Cities  

Richmond Hill Centre Secondary Plan  As a resident of the Richmond Hill Centre, I have experienced firsthand the vibrancy and potential of this area. The Secondary Plan for Richmond Hill Centre plays a crucial role in shaping the future of this dynamic downtown and transit hub. Strategically located at Yonge Street and Highway 7, it aims to support growth through intensification and transit-oriented development, meeting regional and provincial density targets. The plan fosters a mix of residential and commercial spaces with a focus on pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and public areas, enhancing community integration and improving transit connectivity. However, the implementation of this vision poses some challenges. Rapid intensification may strain local infrastructure and services, especially if the balance between residential and commercial development is not carefully managed. The plan relies heavily on successful infrastructure investment and private sector involvement, making it vital to preserve community identity amid this growth. Moreover, addressing affordable housing and avoiding displacement will be key to ensuring that all residents can benefit from the area's development without losing the diversity and vibrancy that make it unique.
