This is a must read! Chicago should consider a similar approach. LA has made affordable housing an emergency and has eliminated unnecessary reviews, requiring approvals in 60 days and building permits in 5 days. This has unleashed over 16,000 new affordable housing units and billions in private investment in LA’s neighborhoods without a single dollar of public subsidy or tax credits. This is a great case study in government incentizing development by simply doing its job more efficiently. Shout out to Mayor Bass! Likewise, Chicago could unleash its talented architects, builders, contractors and developers by eliminating duplicative and unnecessary reviews, putting time limits on approvals, and valuing speed in the entitlement processes. If LA can do it, surely Chicago can too! John Roberson Kenya K. Merritt Ciere Boatright Nneka Onwuzurike Lissette Castañeda Tom Carney Marlene H. Mary Richardson-Lowry Patrick Murphey

We're thrilled to see Cleveland taking a bold step forward with the recent construction permit reform. Mayor Justin M. Bibb's executive order to overhaul the building construction permitting process marks a significant milestone in our city's development journey. Cleveland has long been known for its resilience and innovative spirit. This reform is a testament to our commitment to creating a business-friendly environment that encourages growth and investment. By simplifying and streamlining the permitting process, we can attract more projects, big and small, fueling economic development and enhancing our city's vibrancy. This initiative addresses longstanding challenges, making it easier for developers, contractors, and even DIY enthusiasts to navigate the system. The focus on predictability, visibility, and efficiency ensures that our city can support ambitious projects without unnecessary delays. As Cleveland continues to build its future, we celebrate this crucial step towards a more efficient and welcoming development landscape.

Barnet Council has appointed Russell Curtis as Chair of the borough’s first-ever Quality Review Panel. The Quality Review Panel will test the fundamental design principles of planning proposals, playing a major role in the council’s commitment to exemplary, high-quality developments. Comprising 28 experts drawn from across the planning and design sectors, the independent panel will ensure design issues can be discussed at the early stages of the planning process. Its formation fulfils a key commitment of the council’s corporate plan. Russell Curtis is a well-known local architect and Founding Director of London-based firm RCKa, which specialises in innovative residential, community and commercial projects. Vice-chair Selina Mason, another local resident, is Director of Masterplanning and Strategic Design at Lendlease, focusing on urban regeneration masterplans. Cllr Ross Houston, Deputy Council Leader and Cabinet Member for Homes & Regeneration, says: "I’m delighted that Barnet’s first-ever Quality Review Panel has now been formed, fulfilling a key pledge of the council’s plan for Barnet. The team of experts will help to deliver our commitment to high-quality development that complements the existing townscapes of our borough. At the same time, we’re strengthening our planning policies to focus on building communities, not just homes, to ensure that developments integrate well with surrounding areas, and to align with our ambitious environmental goals." https://lnkd.in/eZvyAsjS #qualityreviewpanel #designprinciples #panels #council #newappointment #development #planningpolicies #communities #environmentalgoals

These are my thoughts on SB 328 (former SB102). A law that will reshape Florida cities by streamlining development and promoting higher-density housing in commercial and industrial areas without the expert insight to understand its impact on our communities and the essential services required for healthy urban strategic growth. https://lnkd.in/dQMp9YxP

Following Michael Fox’s participation in the South West Insider roundtable in Exeter in May, the pressing question remains: “What’s Next?” Mike played a crucial role in the discussion about ‘Building homes to meet demands in the South West’ and concluded that “something is going to have to give” in the planning system and wider development sector. As a team of planners, urban designers, and landscape architects based in the South West and Wales, this topic is a key concern to us. The planning system is fundamental to the success of all residential development. Funding is critical to delivery in two ways: - Resourcing planning departments, which in turn affects how quickly plans are put in place, how consistently policies are enforced (and how this translates into land values) and how quickly decisions are made. - Supporting best practice - while we understand there are competing demands for public sector funding, facilitating development is essential. To allow the market to evolve, a certain level of financial support needs to be provided for land assembly, infrastructure or pilot projects.

On January 8th, 2024, Governor Phil Murphy signed Bill S2760/A4384, which puts in place additional procedures for inspecting, evaluating, and maintaining the structural integrity of certain residential housing structures across the state. These procedures will help ensure the safety, stability, and resilience of New Jersey's condominiums and coops for generations to come. This means mandatory inspections and maintenance of residential buildings throughout the State of New Jersey. #SouthShoreConstruction #HousingInspection #ResidentialStructures #Condominiums #Coops #BuildingSafety #BuildingRegulations #NewJerseyLegislation #UrbanPlanning #ArchitecturalCompliance #StructuralIntegrity #HousingSafety #PublicPolicy

The construction industry has the power to uplift neighborhoods, create opportunities, and foster economic growth. However, true progress can only be achieved when we are inclusive and reflective of the communities we serve.
