The ACT Urban Forest Act came into effect on 1 January 2024, driving Canberra towards a greener and more resilient future. The Act aligns with the canopy objectives outlined in the ACT Urban Forest Strategy 2021-2045, to achieve 30 percent canopy cover or equivalent by 2045. Understanding the requirements of the ACT Urban Forest Act is essential for professionals in the construction and development industry.

Developers, with incredible vision and resources, get tripped up by the complexities of NYC zoning regulations. Permits get delayed, approvals stall, and that prime location sits idle. It's enough to make anyone pull their hair out! That's why we decided to created a guide specifically for real estate developers. This guide cuts through the red tape, demystifies the zoning codes, and lays out a roadmap for navigating the approval process with confidence. #NYCdevelopment #zoningnavigation #realestateapprovals #constructionplanning #NYCconstruction #developmentdelays #zoningcompliance #NYCrealestatedevelopers #buildnyc #urbandevelopment

Sharing my perspective on affordable housing this morning with fourth year Architecture students at the NED university. I discussed the benefits of incremental building as an approach to the issue of housing, with reference to one of our built projects. I took them through the entire process of design development, starting from a conventional approach to the adoption of the incremental approach and it's final outcome. I also talked about the larger sociological impact of this way of thinking and building. #architecture #housing #incremental #affordable #socialhousing
