In the realm of urban development, progress is more often than not a marathon, not a sprint, and this rings especially true for the pervasive redevelopment of the gigantic Collin Creek Mall in Plano. - Underneath the surface level facade of perceived stagnancy, work has been steadily advancing. A noteworthy milestone just reached is the construction of a substantial underground parking garage, a foundational logistical component required in large scale, complex renovations such as this. - Besides modernizing infrastructure above ground, an unsung rehabilitation effort is taking place beneath the surface - old, deteriorating culverts once hidden under the concrete sprawl are currently under restoration. Do not mistake a quiet surface to mean a lack of activity below. Much like an iceberg, the unseen element of this billion-dollar project contains the majority of the progress, and hence deserves the spotlight. These undertakings have made evident: 1. The efficacy of thorough planning in overcoming logistical challenges. 2. The integrated effort toward environmental respect by restoring the old watercourses. 3. The augmented emphasis on sustainable development principles, an intrinsic part of would-be leading urban landscapes. The next milestones poised for realization in this grand project are eagerly awaited, and they hold promises of substantial value, not only to investors but also, significantly, for community building within Plano. This project's progress is likely to have deeper implications on urban development methodologies, potentially serving as an exemplary model spelling out that underneath every successful urban redevelopment project is a meticulous blend of modernization and sustainability. #CollinCreekRedevelopment #UrbanRehabilitation #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanPlanning Final Words: Stay tuned and maintain an eye on the strides of the Collin Creek Mall - more is underway than meets the eye!

The EIGHTEENTH post in my "32 days of Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia" project. Case Study II.18: Historic Fourth Ward Park, Atlanta, GA, USA Can the #regreening of 17 acres of parking lots into a stormwater park trigger award-winning lot #redevelopment, building #reinhabitation, and trail building on a grand scale? That's the case that can be made by Atlanta's decision to address its combined sewer overflow (CSO) problem with a $23 million stormwater park instead of a $40 million underground tunnel. Historic Fourth Ward Park attracted the first major investment to support the Atlanta #BeltLine. By solving the site's recurring flooding problems, the park enabled the renovation of a large vacant Sears distribution warehouse into Ponce City Market, a highly successful mixed-use complex with a popular food hall. For some, however, Fourth Ward Park is seen as an example of "eco-gentrification." Is the lesson learned that we shouldn't invest in great design that integrates stormwater solutions into beautiful parks? Hardly. But we recommend that municipalities planning similar green infrastructure upgrades should anticipate the potential for displacement and get ahead of it. Team: Markham Smith Architects, HDR, Trust for Public Land, Wood Partners.

What's an invisible force that shapes cities? Zoning is the answer. These regulations dictate what gets built and where, creating unique vibes throughout a city. ️Think quiet suburbs with single-family homes or bustling downtowns with towering apartments. Zoning also impacts housing affordability and walkability. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7H-8Geg #urbanplanning #zoning #city #cityplanning

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is a widely interdisciplinary practice, and working alongside so many distinct teams within one firm—across disciplines, time zones, and typologies—has been a major work-perk over the past two years. While some jobs at large firms might narrow into a single specialty over time, I'm glad to be faced with such diverse opportunities and challenges. Recently, I've had a hand in winning work for: - new hospitals here in the US and abroad - a cutting-edge vertical manufacturing tower - a training campus for a major sports team - green economy-focused master plans - adaptive reuse and repositioning of high-rise offices - state and federal research facilities - a transformative master plan for a defunct airport - all kinds of multifamily residential buildings around the world Of course, I've lost a few cool projects in the mix but still can't wait to see what's next! #expandingpractice #transformativearchitecture #interdisciplinaryarchitecture #businessdevelopment #designstrategy

It's World Town Planning Day - a global celebration of how good planning improves the lives of people and benefits society at large. At Randall Thorp, we're all keenly aware of the importance of good planning, and the essential role of town planners here in the UK, with whom we work closely every day. While town planners consider many technical issues, from highways and amenities to biodiversity and drainage, their contribution to placemaking and social impact is equally crucial. Town planners, and other closely related professionals, must understand the varied needs, desires and aspirations of local communities in order to develop proposals or make decisions which not only address technical considerations, but also improve quality of life, promote social cohesion, and create successful, characterful places where people want to spend time and feel they belong. Our work in landscape architecture, urban design and masterplanning is just one key part of a bigger picture. Every day we prepare many of the plans and reports to provide the necessary evidence for evaluating planning applications, while the town planners coordinate and bring everything together. Working collaboratively, we all strive to conceptualise, plan, design and develop great places and spaces for people to live, work and play. At Randall Thorp we are passionate about the part we play. We thrive on contributing our specialist knowledge to the wider design team, including the town planners, with the goal to create great places that benefit everyone. We know that good planning improves lives by shaping great places - it’s why we do what we do! #WTPD #WorldTownPlanningDay2023

After 6 years in the making, the Boston Zoning Commission voted on Wednesday to approve the Boston Planning and Development Agency's (#BPDA) recommendation to overhaul Article 53 of the Boston Zoning Code which is applicable to East Boston. The final adoption of PLAN: East Boston approved a number of map and text amendments to the Zoning Code that will update almost all of the zoning regulations that have governed the East Boston neighborhood for more than thirty (30) years. The recommended amendments received unanimous support from the Zoning Commission. These changes to Article 53 are pretty significant for property owners, developers and the community at large providing predictability and better planning for neighborhood growth allowing for more housing, mixed use and plans to address climate resiliency. Important takeaways include: • Creation of new zoning districts that will allow for an increase in the number of allowed residential units per lot; • The elimination of or increases in maximum floor/area ratios (FAR) for most neighborhoods allowing for more habitable space per lot; • No requirement for minimum lot size or lot frontage; • Increases in allowable building heights in squares and corridors; • Requirements for more site permeability and limits on building lot coverage; • Reducing (and in some cases eliminating) minimum off street parking requirements. Feel free to connect if you wish to discuss how these changes may affect your property or future project or require assistance in navigating these new amendments. #Development #EastBoston #Zoning

Urban planners play a crucial role in shaping our cities and communities. Let’s explore their responsibilities and impact: Designing and Developing Cities: Urban planners are involved in the complex process of designing and developing cities. Their work includes determining land use for green spaces, mapping out public transportation systems, and supporting the built environment beyond just new structures. They aim to create well-developed and maintained communities that enhance residents’ quality of life. Sustainable Development: Urban planning is a segment of larger city plans, focusing on sustainable development. This involves five dimensions: Economic sustainability: Balancing economic growth with community well-being. Social sustainability: Ensuring social equity and inclusivity. Ecological sustainability: Protecting the environment and natural resources. Sustainable spatial development: Efficient land use and infrastructure planning. Cultural continuity: Preserving heritage and identity. Sustainable housing is a fundamental pillar of this approach. Addressing Community Needs: Urban planners collect feedback from key stakeholders, including other planners, government officials, landowners, and citizens. Understanding community needs helps guide decision-making for projects and proposals. Educational Background: Urban planners typically hold master’s degrees in public policy or public administration. Their roles involve policy analysis, project planning, budgeting, community outreach, sustainability, and urban revitalization. In summary, urban planners contribute to creating thriving, safe, and sustainable communities by considering various factors and collaborating with stakeholders. #Urban_Planning #Urban_Design #Sustainability #Urbanism #Design #City_Planning #Town_Planning #Public_spaces #Urban_Development #Landscape_Architecture

Zoning influence the overall layout and functionality of commercial properties, specifying parking requirements, setback regulations, and adherence to aesthetic standards. Mixed-use development opportunities may be encouraged, fostering vibrant urban environments. Preservation of historic structures, environmental sustainability standards, and considerations for infrastructure and utilities are integral parts of city planning that impact commercial projects. Furthermore, public input and community engagement play a crucial role, ensuring that commercial developments align with the needs and character of the local community. Navigating these zoning and planning aspects is essential for developers to secure project approval and compliance with local regulations, ultimately shaping the success and impact of commercial real estate ventures. #zoning #commercialrealestate #realestate #business #commercialproperties
