Dive into this article, "50 Ideas for a Stronger and More Equitable Bronx," featuring pivotal projects poised to uplift the community. A highlight is the Mott Haven-Port Morris Waterfront Plan, a crucial initiative set to transform #access to the #waterfront. This plan aims to open over 100,000 people's access to previously unreachable waterfront areas, creating a thriving space for economic, educational, and recreational opportunities. Within this framework, Waterfront Alliance has advocated for the transformation of the Lincoln Avenue Street End, a location along the Harlem River uniquely poised to provide waterfront access. The implementation of this plan would not only create waterfront access, but much-needed greenspace that could filter clean air and mitigate the urban heat island effect.

Have you ever imagined a neighborhood where parks and gardens are the heart of the community? My project explores just that. An Urban Bloom: Rebuilding lives in Al-Qadiseya neighbourhood This project explores the transformative power of urban green spaces. By revitalizing vacant areas, we can create vibrant, inclusive communities that meet the needs of all residents. Imagine a neighborhood where parks and gardens become oases of life and energy. My project delves into how these green spaces can not only enhance the physical environment but also foster a sense of community and well-being. The project also focuses on transforming the community to an interactive, powerful and innovative one, full of life and energy.

We're pleased to be at the Building Garden Communities Conference today. Our Senior Researcher Hani Salih took part in an engaging discussion on the potential role of Build to Rent (BTR) development in Garden Towns. Here are some key insights that came up: - Richard B. highlighted how single-family housing can serve as a catalyst for diverse housing options within communities. - Jo Davis discussed the substantial £1.9 billion investment in single-family housing, emphasising its appeal for immediate occupancy and its potential to foster vibrant, legacy-driven communities. - David Reid underscored the potential of institutional ownership and management in ensuring the longevity and quality of BTR developments. - Eve Murzyn emphasised the importance of understanding local needs and engaging with local authorities from the outset to tailor BTR solutions to specific communities. - Hani Salih highlighted the significance of resident involvement and the integration of green spaces to foster community cohesion and a sense of belonging. It was suggested that BTR is a must-have because of the institutional capital it brings, its potential to create communities early on, and the possibilities it brings for providing a diverse mix of housing and tenure types and infrastructure. Plenty of food for thought, and we're looking forward to seeing how some of this plays out in the results of our current research into the social impact of BTR developments. #BuildToRent #GardenTowns #CommunityDevelopment #BTR #SocialImpact #Stewardship #UKHousing #ResidentialDevelopment

Want some hope and inspiration? Wondering if it is possible to change things from awful to beautiful? Then step away from what is at the top of your to-do list and spend 13 mins watching this video. To those who have opportunistically weaponised '15 minute city' in pursuit of political populism and profit, stop stealing people's dreams. Welcome to Le Plessis-Robinson - a municipality near Paris. “This town did the impossible! It was able to transform itself from a gloomy dispirited town, dominated by decaying concrete flats into a thriving, friendly and beautiful community”. Key to its success? "A steadfast mayor, a couple of visionary architects and sheer will". Seven critical success factors: 1️⃣ Long term vision is key – “this plan was not the result of just a couple of profit hungry developers” 2️⃣ Smart policies – use public-private partnerships 3️⃣ Urban form – “get the urban form right…from blocks to streets", “create a clear difference between private and public space” 4️⃣ Social housing can be beautiful – “Beauty and human dignity go hand-in-hand. Forcing those without any choice to live in ugly concrete boxes is unethical”, “the quality of the social housing is so high that you can’t even see that they are social housing from the outside” 5️⃣ More than just a park – “they created a true river ecosystem and boosted the biodiversity of the place enormously” 6️⃣ The walkable city wins – “shops and services are close enough so that people can walk or bike to fulfil their daily needs. It is a good example of the 15 minute city” 7️⃣ Beauty does matter – “The mayor of this town saw the importance of beauty as self-evident…slowly but surely the town became more pleasant, which started to attract more business, and increased people’s attachment to the place” Importantly: “The pleasantness of Le Plessir-Robinson was not random. It was designed” I watched the video today at the suggestion of a colleague in the Netherlands who was providing feedback on our draft 'Triple Access Planning - Handbook for Practitioners' (coming soon!). It resonated strongly even without mention of digital accessibility. Failing to plan is planning to fail. We need strong not weak planning. Focused on people and planet from which can flow prosperity. Not focused on narrow-minded profiteering. Planning success comes from the top and the bottom - a visionary leader and genuine consideration of the quality of life of those in social housing. Next time you come across someone bad-mouthing 15 minutes cities or 20 minute neighbourhoods invite them to indulge in some lifelong learning and watch this video. Beautiful futures are possible. This year over half of the world's population has the chance to vote in elections. Visionary leaders - make yourselves known! People, don't be fooled by false (profiteering) prophets - pick your leaders wisely and make your votes count for a greener, fairer more prosperous future. #15minutecity #leadership #tripleaccessplanning
