Creating thriving places and communities

Creating thriving places and communities

Our towns and cities are evolving in a post-pandemic world, with outdoor spaces taking on a more important role than ever. The nature of hybrid working means people are spending their working time between home and the office – we’re working with local authorities to help towns and cities offer that extra something to bring people together.

The transport hubs we’ve created have drawn people and businesses into centres and created impactful first impressions for those new to the area. We’re creating more public realm, to transform brownfield and disused sites into outside spaces to bring communities together and enable local businesses to benefit from their thoroughfares.

Greening urban environments with trees and bringing nature back can also help overcome some of the greatest challenges facing the world’s growing populations, and give those living in town and city centres calming spaces that promote health and wellbeing.
