Earlier today, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of Salt Lake City formally adopted the "Rio Grande District Vision and Implementation Plan". Designed by Perkins&Will, the vision imagines a hub of urban living and activity sandwiched between the historic Rio Grande Depot and Salt Lake Central Station. Recently, in acknowledgement of the complementarity of their vision with the citizen-driven Rio Grande Plan, the RDA formally added the following statement to their district plan: "The Rio Grande Plan (not to be confused with this District Plan) was developed by two advocates, a local engineer and an urban designer. The vision suggests the relocation of freight and Frontrunner rails into an underground trench to open up over 100 acres of development, restore the use of a historic train station, and solve train-related east-west barriers to mobility. In February 2023, Salt Lake City was awarded nearly $2 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to study solutions for eliminating barriers caused by transportation infrastructure, and the train box concept is one option being considered."

If George Peabody were alive today his housing for the poor would never be built. My first flat was in a Peabody estate, built in Victorian times. It was small and up five flights of stairs. But it was mine. My first step on the ladder of life. You still see those charming blocks around inner London. Simple, yes, but beautiful in their own way. And I can’t help think…. They would never be built today. I’m not talking about space/eco/access standards etc. In mean *in principle* they would never happen. A philanthropic businessperson would never want the hell of the planning system. Planning committees would never approve them on the scale needed thanks to NIMBY pressure. “Rabbit hutches!” “Not compliant!” But I tell you one thing: They would be *off the scale* popular electorally. #housing #planning

👏What a great project: the innovative hollow concrete blocks by PERI enable affordable housing for disadvantaged regions. The TwistBlocks are manufactured by👷🏿 local workers and thus create new jobs. What is more, the blocks can be inserted into each other like small building blocks without mortar or plaster.

If you follow the news (rather than LinkedIn!) you probably heard about the major construction firm ISG, on which 2,000 staff depended for their jobs and scores of subcontractors probably thought was rock solid too - until it went into administration in September. It turned the media's focus to the number of insolvencies in construction - a figure that at face value won’t make you feel any more cheery either. But add a little more context, as the main story on the edition of The Raikes Journal linked below does, and perhaps it’s not quite so doom and gloom after all. It takes a look at the latest results from fourth generation Gloucestershire family firm E G Carter & Co Ltd - a record year with a 30-plus percent rise in turnover. Reading it might make you feel a bit more chipper heading into the weekend! The edition also has some news briefs, including news of Roberts Limbrick's attempts to win permission for McMurtry Automotive Limited's plans to build a supercar factory in the county, and word of places opening up on Gloucester-based leadership development specialists QuoLux™ - B Corp Certified's next LEAD™ and LEADlight programs - pathways used by an increasingly number of firms of all sizes in the county and beyond to develop their current and future senior teams. And lastly, if you need a story about individual achievement that will inspire you then the edition also features word of Simon Clark - a man rescued by Great Western Air Ambulance Charity following a catastrophic car crash, described as 'the most broken' they had ever seen, who lost his partner in the accident, but who has defied all odds to live again. He's vowed to raise money from now on for the charity that saved his life. Clark's ambitions are not just high for the fundraising total (£4.5 million), he's just returned from attempting to reach Everest base camp!

Knoxville, Tennessee, has secured a $42.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the largest federal grant in the city's recent history. The funding will be used to enhance connectivity between East Knoxville and other areas, with the aim of making downtown and South Knoxville's urban wilderness more accessible to East Knoxville residents through improved transportation options such as walking, biking, and other forms of transit. The project will involve creating over 10 miles of connective infrastructure, including greenways and multi-modal pathways, in seven phases. This initiative is expected to have a significant impact on transportation by improving access to key areas, addressing historical disparities, and promoting inclusive development. It also underscores the importance of investing in transportation infrastructure to foster community connectivity and mobility. #Knoxville #Transportation #Infrastructure #Funding

We're so excited to share this! You may have seen us talking about our new move-on property, well,… here it is! 🏠 Regram @cullinan_studio: "The Branches ‘Stepping Stones’ house will help people rebuild their lives after experiencing homelessness. Designed for occupants transitioning from hostel accommodation to fully independent living, the house needs to be affordable, safe, and to foster in its residents a sense of pride and confidence. That means very particular needs in terms of security, layout, and facilities. But most challenging from a technical point of view for the renovation of this large Victorian house of multiple occupancy (HMO), is the need for low energy consumption to keep the residents’ bills to a minimum. In the course of identifying and addressing those needs, we discovered new and groundbreaking applications for Passivhaus design principles, which we believe can inspire and inform not only similar HMO projects, but also low energy retrofits of period properties of any kind. In this article, we look at the challenges we faced with project, and three key elements that helped us to overcome them: https://buff.ly/3NKT888 " 📋 Thank you to @cullinan_studio, and the many many partners, supporters, contributors, and donators that have helped make our dreams reality through innovative and modern ways to tackle homelessness, break the cycle of homelessness, and continue to offer an excellent resettlement service to those who need it. More detailed post to come at a later date thanking everyone properly! ❤️ #homelessness #supportservices #mentalhealth #moveonproperty #providingshelter #moveonproperty #news #walthamforest #resettlementcharity #resettlement #housedesign #architects #passivhaus #houserenovation #retrofit #charity
