At Property Week's RESi360 earlier this month, Director Chris Levett discussed the challenges and benefits of creating circular economy communities. DLA specialise in designing homes for all walks of life, from student homes to senior living across the UK. As society’s needs have evolved, so has DLA—expanding into Co-living, Build to Rent, and intergenerational, multi-demographic schemes. We call this approach Blended Living, a multi-faceted solution to modern housing needs and residential-led regeneration. READ MORE ABOUT Blended Living: https://bit.ly/48baLau

In the fast-evolving landscape of automotive technology, Hankook Tires is setting the pace with two groundbreaking concepts that could redefine how we navigate urban environments: the "Flexup" and the "Magfloat." 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐩: >> Design: This single-wheel vehicle is designed to navigate complex urban obstacles like stairs and speed bumps effortlessly. >> Utility: Perfect for narrow city roads, the Flexup offers a new level of mobility in crowded urban settings, enabling smoother and more flexible travel pathways. 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭: >> Technology: This futuristic one-seater leverages magnetic field expansion and rotation to float and move. >> Application: Primarily designed for indoor use, the Magfloat is an innovative solution for navigating large indoor spaces like airports, malls, or large office buildings. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: >> Enhanced Mobility: Both designs emphasize mobility flexibility, crucial in increasingly congested urban environments. >> Sustainable Solutions: As cities move towards reducing carbon footprints, alternative transport solutions like the Flexup and Magfloat could play a role in promoting eco-friendly travel options. 💬 What potential impacts do you see for such innovative tire and vehicle technologies in reshaping urban transport? How might these innovations change the way we think about mobility in congested city environments? #innovation #technology #future #management #startups

Really enjoyed talking to Barry WILSON and louie sieh at ReThink HK yesterday morning, talking about how we can create better, urban places. For my money, Hong Kong has the potential to be one of the most live-able cities in the world. As a resident here for nearly 10 years, I love the variety of districts and ways to travel between them; our public transportation is among the very best in the world with the vast majority of people within just a few minutes of one mode of transport or other. The proximity of the country parks to the city is of course a defining characteristic, giving people somewhere to retreat, to walk, to cycle and reconnect with nature. But we mustn’t allow the contrast between 'city' and 'green' to become too extreme: we seem to be putting too much emphasis on vehicles at the expense of the human experience. Streets have become dominated by private cars, taxis, buses and delivery vans while pedestrians have been squeezed - relegated to narrow, concrete paths that often lack shade of any description. In fact, pedestrians are often exiled to elevated walkways devoid of character, giving vehicles even greater access to the streets of Hong Kong. As an architect I think we need to soften the edges between the ‘zones’ we have created: between the green and the city; public and private; inside and outside; and pedestrian and vehicular. We should look hard at options to de-motorise parts of the city, closing roads in high foot traffic areas (there are lots of successful precedents for this in other cities) and adding more 'green' to our streets. This would encourage people to take a stroll, rather than march from place to place, taking time to browse shops. It would also provide opportunities for hard-hit F&B outlets to spill out onto the pavements, creating longer dwell times for customers and potentially driving up how much each customer spends. Doing this needs a re-balancing of priorities and better use of the wide range of assets we have as a city. Cars – even electric ones – should not be prioritised at the expense of creating a livable, walkable, cyclable city. We have an amazing city but with a little bit of thought, and perhaps more intra-governmental collaboration, it could be even better.

JOHOR BAHRU EMBRACES INNOVATION: Multi-Tiered ART System Planned This post's focuses on Johor Bahru's exciting future as a burgeoning economic hub bordering Singapore. The anticipated growth, however, presents a challenge: traffic congestion. To address this, the Johor government is taking a bold step by implementing a multi-tiered Automated Rapid Transit (#ART) system. What is ART? Imagine a tram that navigates using sensors, eliminating the need for tracks. This is ART, a novel public transport solution gaining traction worldwide. Here's why ART is a promising choice for Johor Bahru: - Cost-Effective: Compared to traditional LRT, MRT, and monorail systems, ART boasts lower construction costs, making it a fiscally responsible option. - Eco-Friendly: ART utilizes battery power, minimizing environmental impact and aligning with sustainable development goals. - Proven Success: Putrajaya's trial run has been well-received by commuters, and Kuching is adopting ART as the backbone of its urban transport system. - Global Trendsetter: Major Chinese cities like Zhuzhou and Shanghai are already reaping the benefits of ART, demonstrating its viability. Benefits for Johor Bahru: - Traffic Mitigation: ART has the potential to significantly reduce traffic congestion as Johor Bahru experiences growth. - Enhanced Connectivity: A well-designed ART system can connect key areas within the city, promoting smoother commutes for residents. - Sustainable Future: By embracing electric technology, Johor Bahru positions itself as a forward-thinking metropolis committed to a greener future. Current Stage : The Johor government has secured approval to propose the ART system to the federal level. This initiative is crucial in preparing for the expected increase in travel between Johor Bahru and Singapore upon completion of the Rapid Transit System (RTS). This post not only highlights the real estate implications of Johor Bahru's development, but also showcases a cutting-edge solution in the transportation technology industry. By staying informed about such advancements, readers can make well-rounded decisions about their property investments and embrace the exciting future of urban living.

🌟🏗️ First 3D-printed office in Spain by Holcim and A3D Building - the next step in the transformation of the construction sector. With our focus on building better with less, we started this project at our site in Torres de la Alameda, Madrid. The new offices will house workspaces, changing rooms and a dining room, with a functional design that prioritizes people's well-being. Under the "3DPrint Lab©" concept, we merged A3D Building's technology with our Better Workplaces initiative in order to transform our workspaces into safe, innovative and sustainable environments. The construction system developed by A3D Building will reduce the use of materials by up to 50%, providing flexibility to adapt the space and speeding up construction time by up to 35-40%. 🔗 Learn more about innovation at Holcim here: https://lnkd.in/dVZv6dvx #Innovation #3DPrinting #BuildingProgress

Taking a moment of reflection + gratitude! It's incredible how the universe works sometimes... ❤️ April 2022 -> I'm at TED Conferences, sitting with Sharad Kharé + Steve Thorp, telling them all about my latest 🧻 idea... and how we got introduced to Box Clever. I remember the moment vividly, telling them both over dinner just how amazing it would be to have a partner like them on this journey with us. Dreaming to have our future company name + logo (which, to be clear didn't even exist back then, was still just - TP Idea) on their website as a partner. ✨ People talk about the power of visualization, but until you've lived it, it's just another social media story. This dream became a reality... and I'm so grateful to Bret + his entire team for believing in us and willing to take on this challenge. Onto my next dream/vision, which is: "Just like the lil shampoo/soap bottles are now all larger dispensers - my dream is that in 5 years, YOU check into a hotel room and if you were to see an old toilet paper roll on the wall, it would make you cringe." #visualization #founderstories #founderjourney #entrepreneurship #designchallenge #toiletpaper #hospitality #hotels #innovation
