Cityscapes 2024 was an extraordinary event that brought together architects, designers, and urban planners from around the world. The exhibition showcased innovative approaches to urban design, including smart city solutions, green architecture, and sustainable development. Walking through the event was like stepping into the future, with interactive models and technologies offering a glimpse of what’s possible in modern urban planning. One of the highlights was the variety of workshops and panel discussions. Topics ranged from sustainable construction methods to designing public spaces that foster inclusivity and community well-being. The sessions were practical and insightful, offering solutions to real-world challenges faced by professionals in the field. It was inspiring to see how creativity and technology can come together to solve some of the most pressing issues in urban development. The event also provided incredible opportunities to network and collaborate. Meeting industry leaders, exchanging ideas, and discussing new trends with like-minded professionals added immense value to the experience. The diversity of attendees brought fresh perspectives, sparking conversations that could lead to future collaborations or innovations. Cityscapes 2024 was not just an exhibition—it was a platform for learning, growth, and inspiration. It highlighted the importance of pushing boundaries in design and thinking creatively about how we shape our cities for a better future.

Throwback to a brilliant moment when I had the opportunity to witness Melbourne’s urban vibrancy, one of the world’s most liveable cities. City of Melbourne's journey towards liveability is built on its dedication to quality urban design, activating public spaces like laneway movements to transport networks. These efforts have created an environment that not only serves today’s residents but also ensures future generations have something to look forward to. In many respects, Singapore shares a similar vision. From our well-designed built environments to our efficient transport systems, both cities are committed to creating spaces that enhance quality of life. Much like Melbourne, Singapore’s forward-thinking urban planning ensures our city remains resilient, sustainable, and liveable for the future. If your city has demonstrated a commitment to improving urban spaces, fostering liveability, and delivering innovative design solutions, consider nominating it for the LKY World City Prize. It’s an opportunity to share best practices, showcase your city’s achievements, and inspire others globally. #UrbanDesign #CityPlanning #LiveableCities #Singapore #Melbourne #LKYWorldCityPrize #SustainableCities

At The Pulse of Amsterdam, where everything and everyone comes together, accessibility plays a significant role.   Located just 150 metres away from Amsterdam Zuid station, The Pulse already offers exceptional access to public transport and the A10 highway. But that’s not all – through parking and charging facilities, we are prepared to accommodate approximately 1300 cyclists! Additionally, for those using more than just two wheels, 126 parking spaces will be provided, all equipped with a charging station.   Our goal is to increase the number of shared mobility parking spaces, making it easier for everyone to embrace a more sustainable way of getting around. That is why 45 spaces are assigned to the shared mobility concept.

In the world of architecture and urban planning, the importance of environmental comfort is being increasingly recognized—not just for its profound impact on occupants' health and productivity but also for its pivotal role in advancing sustainable practices. Environmental comfort represents a holistic approach, where human well-being and environmental sustainability come together seamlessly. The result is better, healthier, and more responsible environments that serve both people and the planet. At ECOBUILD, we’re not just meeting these expectations, we’re elevating them, from sustainable building materials to advanced technologies, we are committed to crafting solutions that inspire, empower, and leave a positive legacy for the future. Let’s build a world where comfort and sustainability are the cornerstones of every space we create. #EnvironmentalComfort #ModernArchitecture #UrbanPlanning #SustainableArchitecture #FutureCities #UrbanInnovation #HealthyBuildings #ProductivityDesign #IndoorAirQuality #SustainableDesign #EcoFriendlyLiving #GreenBuilding

💬 How can we incorporate more youth-driven ideas into urban planning (spatial design in general) research and development?

We are living in a rapidly changing world where the way we live, work, and interact is evolving at an unprecedented pace. One of the most exciting shifts in urban planning, architecture, and community design is the rise of shared spaces, areas that transcend traditional boundaries between private and public, personal and collective. 👥 How do we design spaces that foster connection while respecting individual needs? And how can we ensure that these spaces are inclusive, sustainable, and adaptable to our ever-changing world? We are thrilled to have a distinguished panel of experts to explore these questions. 🗣 🔔 Important: Registration is now closed and onsite registration will not be available.

#Landscape Architecture X Urban Planning: The Collaboration of the Hour In the face of challenges such as climate change, rapid urbanization, and social inequality, the partnership between landscape architecture and urban planning has become indispensable. These two disciplines are joining forces to craft cities that are more sustainable, resilient, and livable. - **Green Infrastructure:** Landscape architects craft natural solutions like parks, green roofs, and permeable pavements, while urban planners ensure these features align with broader city plans for managing stormwater, reducing heat, and enhancing biodiversity. - **Public Space & Social Equity:** Through collaboration, public spaces are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and safe, enriching the quality of life, particularly for marginalized communities. - **Walkability & Mobility:** Both fields prioritize creating pedestrian-friendly urban settings, integrating parks and transportation networks to diminish reliance on cars and boost public health. - **Climate Resilience:** Working together, they develop cities that can adapt to climate change, employing approaches like floodable parks, green infrastructure, and urban forests. Cities like New York's High Line, Copenhagen’s climate plan, and Melbourne’s green network serve as prime examples of successful collaborations that enhance urban life through integrated design. Ultimately, the combined expertise of landscape architects and urban planners plays a pivotal role in constructing cities that are functional, equitable, and sustainable for the future.

The Transformative Power of Rivers, Catalysts for Architecture, Urbanism, and Placemaking. 🏙️ Project: Adaptive reuse into a socio-economical knowledge neighbourhood. Location: Manchester, UK. Rivers have long been integral to the development and growth of cities, serving as more than just waterways. They act as catalysts, shaping the urban fabric and influencing the way we live, work, and interact with our environment. - Connecting People and Places - Catalysts for Development - Enhancing Quality of Life - Inspiring Architectural Innovation Rivers are more than just waterways, they are dynamic forces that shape the urban landscape. By recognizing the transformative power of rivers, we can create cities that are not only functional and sustainable but also beautiful and inspiring. Do you live in a city with a river?
