Oakville is reaching new heights, embracing urban living even in areas once considered small towns. An article on RENX discusses the imperative of dense, transit-oriented neighborhoods to meet the housing needs in Ontario's growing cities. It argues that such development is not only crucial for addressing housing shortages but is also integral to creating livable, sustainable communities. The discussion points to a future where high-density living around transit hubs can redefine the character of cities, offering environmental and social benefits.

🏡 Balancing Development and Preservation: A Town Planning Challenge for Surrey? Elmbridge Borough Council’s Local Plan is being re-evaluated having been urged to reconsider its goal of 8,000 new homes, as using green belt land is “justified”. As expected, the council expressed disappointment, reaffirming its commitment to protecting the green belt from "speculative" development, focussing instead on brownfield sites for future housing. The debate over housing development on green belt land highlights a complex challenge: meeting housing targets while preserving undeveloped spaces. What are your thoughts on balancing sustainable growth whilst protecting our natural spaces? #HousingCrisis #GreenBelt #SustainableDevelopment #Planning

The City of Cape Town has approved the start of a public participation process for the redevelopment of the Good Hope Centre. The proposal includes transforming the site into a mixed-use precinct with residential, commercial, and retail spaces, while retaining the iconic dome. Planned features include a pedestrian-friendly forecourt and underground parking. This redevelopment aims to drive economic growth, create jobs, and regenerate the surrounding area. Public participation details will follow after final Council approval, scheduled for 5 December 2024. https://lnkd.in/dYPaqp4r

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻'𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳-𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 Ever wondered about the story behind Cape Town's iconic half-built bridge? It’s not just a quirky urban landmark but a fascinating symbol of ambition, missed opportunities, and the complexities of city planning. Constructed in the 1970s, the unfinished Foreshore Freeway Bridge was part of an ambitious infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flow in Cape Town. However, funding challenges and shifting priorities brought the project to a halt. Decades later, the bridge remains incomplete—a conversation starter and an urban puzzle waiting to be solved. This bridge is more than a structure; it’s a reminder of how cities evolve, the importance of adaptability, and the need for creative solutions in urban development. Recent plans have proposed innovative ways to repurpose the bridge, from turning it into a public space to integrating it into modern transport systems. What lessons can urban planners, investors, and developers take from Cape Town's "bridge to nowhere"? Could this relic of the past become a key piece of the city's future?

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
