    Shaping Cities Where Talent Thrives 🌱 | Campus Expert | Corporate Urbanism | Innovation Ecosystems | Social Impact | ESG | Partner at Blossity | Keynote Speaker 🌍

    🚀 Next week, on Tuesday, March 12, I’ll take the stage at World Workplace Europe to challenge the way we think about facility management 🤔 FM is more than just keeping buildings running - it’s a powerful tool for shaping communities and driving social impact. What if we shifted our focus beyond the walls of our buildings? 🌍 Excited to connect with the global IFMA community and give a sneak peek of our Blossity "Social Impact Scan" 🌟 - an action-driven tool for leaders who want to get hands-on with ESG. Rooted in science and shaped by our experience in campus impact strategies, it’s built to turn intent into action. Attending as well? Let’s connect! 🌱 #CorporateUrbanism #SocialImpact #ESG #Blossity Lara Paemen

  • 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 is coming to the 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 - an exclusive, invitation-only gathering for corporates, higher education institutions, and building owners looking to strengthen their connection with communities and cities. 🌎 Activated places shape brand presence, attract talent, and create lasting social impact. That’s why we’re bringing together a diverse group of leaders to explore how we can prioritize the ’S’ in #ESG through place based strategies. For over ten years, we’ve partnered with global brands like Nike to shape campuses and their connection to cities. Now, we’re excited to build on those insights at this 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽. 🏔️ The name Basecamp reflects our collective journey - pushing boundaries but also pausing to connect, reflect, and move forward with fresh perspectives. Want to be part of the conversation? Send us a note ⚡️ #socialimpact #stickycities #blossitybasecamp

    New Project! 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘: 𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 Blossity has been commissioned by Lingotto to help create a buzz at the heart of the Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP) – the largest specialised innovation district in the Netherlands and a hotbed for human health. With more than 27,000 students 🎓 and almost 25,000 jobs, employment here is growing three times faster than in the rest of the region. Until now, LBSP has been a place to work, study, and do sports. But top talent also looks for vibrant places to live 🌍. MORE, a mixed-use development, will add more than 1,500 homes and new amenities – bringing a real buzz to the area ✨ We believe places where people stick aren’t just about buildings—they thrive through positioning, programming, and partnership building. That’s why we’re stoked to get hands-on with this new project! In the coming months, Blossity will engage the ecosystem and co-create ground-floor concepts at the intersection of hospitality, culture, and impact—with the purpose of making MORE buzz and sparking synergy with the wider LBSP ecosystem. We’ll be connecting with key stakeholders over the coming months. Got insights to share? Let’s talk! 🚀 #Blossity #LeidenBioSciencePark #Placemaking #ThirdPlaces #StickyCities

  • ESG & #CorporateUrbanism – Part 2: The Revival Corporate urbanism — the idea of companies actively shaping communities — is experiencing a revival 🌱. From creating sustainable neighborhoods to redefining the role of campuses, companies are once again reshaping urban landscapes. Not just for business but for broader societal impact 🌎 🚗 In Detroit, Ford’s Michigan Central exemplifies corporate commitment to revitalization. Anchored by a once-abandoned train station, this 30-acre Mobility Innovation District blends automotive innovation with cultural vibrancy. Detroit’s comeback story highlights how companies can drive urban renewal and shared prosperity. ⛹🏻♀️Sportpark in Hilversum is a project we've been supporting for more than 5 years. What's now a monofunctional business park around Nike's European Headquarters will become a mixed-use innovation district. With 1,000 new homes, an international school, sports facilities and 'privately owned public spaces' (#pops) that weave sport into everyday life, this development blurs the line between campus and community. In the meantime, thoughtful placemaking activations are bringing the story to life. 🔎 After a pause, Google's Downtown West project in San Jose appears to be back on track. This urban retail village with affordable housing, parks, and public amenities demonstrates Google's approach to inclusivity, sustainability, and collaboration. It also illustrates the volatile nature of public companies undertaking large-scale urban projects. With today's increased focus on #ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and #CSDR (corporate social responsibility), corporate urbanism is making a comeback. Today's leaders are thinking beyond the walls of their assets and leverage the power of place in their communities. 💬 What contemporary example of corporate urbanism inspires you? Let’s share best practices! At Blossity, we help companies create meaningful social impact through corporate urbanism—transforming ESG from a pet project to a powerful strategy for lasting change 🌟

  • ESG & #CorporateUrbanism – Part 1: The Origins Corporate urbanism — the idea of companies actively shaping communities —has deep historical roots. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, visionary businesses understood that investing in worker wellbeing and community development wasn’t just ethical, it was strategic. 🧪 Take 𝗔𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗳𝘁, developed in 1881 by Agneta Matthes and Jacob Cornelis van Marken. Designed by Louis Paul Zocher, this garden village offered quality housing, green spaces, and community amenities—a progressive effort years ahead of the Dutch Housing Act of 1902. Today, Agneta Park still thrives, adjacent to the DSM biotech campus, standing as a landmark of corporate leadership. 💡 A few decades later, 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 built Philipsdorp, a neighborhood enriched with housing, schools, daycare, and community facilities. In 1929, the company launched the Netherlands’ first company school, educating nearly 4,000 students of all ages. This initiative, championed by Anna de Jongh—wife of Anton Philips—highlighted the transformative role education could play in corporate-community relationships. 🍫 Similarly, 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, created by Cadbury, envisioned not just housing but an environment fostering health, happiness, with one-tenth of the estate "laid out and used as parks, recreation grounds and open space. It set a benchmark for how companies could foster both individual wellbeing and community resilience. These early examples remind us of the enduring potential of corporate urbanism to create environments where businesses and communities thrive together—a principle that remains profoundly relevant today 🌟 💬 What examples of historical corporate urbanism inspire you? Let’s discuss! At Blossity, we help companies create meaningful social impact through corporate urbanism - transforming #ESG from a pet project to a powerful strategy for lasting change. #stickycities #socialimpact #futureofcities

    𝗢𝗽 𝘇𝗼𝗲𝗸 𝗻𝗮𝗮𝗿 𝘇𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗱 – 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘄 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗶𝗻. Kunnen we het hart van de stad weer zacht maken? 🌿🌍  Blossity is gevraagd door de gemeente Rotterdam om een fris narratief te ontwikkelen voor het drukste metrostation van Nederland, dat dagelijks 120.000 reizigers ontvangt en binnenkort flink op de schop gaat. Waar nu steen en staal domineert, dromen wij van een plek die uitnodigt om te voelen en te verbinden. Hier omarmt een groene structuur het Churchillplein, en ontstaat een netwerk van bijzondere ‘achterkanten’. 💚 En omdat verhalen niet alleen verteld, maar ook gevoeld moeten worden, vertaalden we onze visie in een zelfgemaakt wandkleed van duurzame Portugese wol 🧶 Wordt vervolgd... #softcities #storytelling #placefutures #futureofcities

  • New Project: 𝐃𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 🔎 🔎 Blossity was invited to benchmark Dublin’s city centre against inspiring cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Glasgow, examining its appeal to students, tourists, and investors.
