Design can be fun AND functional!

Great lineup for WRLDCTY this year. The conversation is increasingly articulate on how the design of the built environment can shift from being a cause of the worldwide policrisis to be part of the solution.

Restorative Urbanism [adaptive reuse] ++ [city tactics] Restorative urbanism is a concept that focuses on creating sustainable, resilient, and vibrant cities by restoring and enhancing natural systems and historical highlights within urban areas. This approach aims to improve the health and well-being of residents, protect the environment, and promote economic development. One of the benefits of restorative urbanism to cities and economic development include: **Economic development opportunities: Restorative urbanism can attract businesses, residents, and tourists by creating attractive, walkable, and vibrant urban environments. Additionally, investing in green infrastructure and sustainability initiatives can create jobs and spur economic growth. Also, well-designed, sustainable developments and green spaces can increase property values in urban areas, attracting more investment and supporting local businesses. **Community building and social cohesion: Restorative urbanism promotes community engagement, social interactions, and a sense of belonging, fostering stronger, more resilient communities.

“Modern science explains the role of beauty in creating places that can save the planet. Fortunately, beautiful places are within our power to design and build.” It's worth reading this article from The Congress for the New Urbanism!

🌊 Transforming Water into Land: Notable Landfill Projects Worldwide 🌎 The idea of reclaiming land from water has fascinated humanity for centuries. From the Netherlands’ pioneering efforts to China’s modern-day advancements, these megalomaniacal projects redefine coastlines and create new spaces. Here are some notable examples: 📍𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐉𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐡, 𝐃𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐢: Impossible to ignore, this iconic “palm tree” took nine years to build. Covering 31 km², it features luxurious residences on its “leaves” and a hotel at the sea end. The project cost approximately $12 billion and used enough stone and sand to circle the Earth three times! However, it also impacted marine ecosystems by altering seawater circulation. 📍𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐔𝐍-𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭 and Oceanix have unveiled a prototype for the world’s first sustainable floating city. This innovative approach integrates circular systems, zero-waste practices, and coastal habitat regeneration2. 📍𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞: Safdie Architects’ masterpiece combines luxury, entertainment, and sustainability.

Lyon's La Confluence district is undergoing a groundbreaking transformation, setting a new benchmark for sustainable urban development. 🌆🌿 Led by renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron and David Chipperfield, this project is turning a former industrial area into a thriving, mixed-use urban quarter. The development prioritizes both social and environmental sustainability, addressing Lyon's population growth while creating a model for revitalizing post-industrial spaces. Key highlights of the La Confluence project: 1. Masterplan focused on sustainability and community integration 2. Three distinct building types: social housing, offices, and mixed-use high-rise 3. Strict energy regulations and limited parking to promote eco-friendly living 4. Innovative designs featuring transparent ground floors and garden courtyards 5. Integration of public spaces, commercial venues, and essential services This collaborative effort involving the city, clients, and consultants demonstrates how urban planning can evolve to meet the diverse needs of growing populations while prioritizing sustainability. What are your thoughts on this approach to urban transformation? How can other cities learn from Lyon's example? #SustainableUrbanDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #GreenArchitecture #LyonConfluence Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dckSrdin

⚖️ Balancing Act: Striving for Equilibrium in Urban Development 🏢🌳 In a world that is constantly trying to balance the scales between nature and urbanization, this image strikes a chord. It poses a profound question: How do we weigh our progress? Are we tilting too far towards urban growth at the expense of our natural environment? At SheherSaaz, our mission is rooted in finding that delicate balance. The goal? To harmonize urban development with the preservation of our planet's invaluable green spaces. We envision cities where skyscrapers and trees stand side by side, each respecting the space and needs of the other. A personal reflection: I once visited a city where the tallest buildings had gardens flourishing on their rooftops and green walls adorning their facades. It was a stark reminder that integrating nature into our urban landscapes isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. Join us in tipping the scales towards a more sustainable future. Let's design and build cities that not only reach towards the sky but also deeply root themselves in the sustainability of our environment. 🌍🌿 #SheherSaaz #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #GreenCities #EcoFriendly #EnvironmentalSustainability #CityPlanning #UrbanDesign #SustainableCities #GreenArchitecture #UrbanGrowth #EcoUrbanism #GreenInfrastructure #BalancedDevelopment #NatureConservation #EcoDesign #SustainableLiving #UrbanEcology #FutureCities #InnovativeCities #ShehersaazUSA #ShehersaazKSA #ShehersaazUAE #ShehersaazUK #ShehersaazAUS
