The future is now – Bold ideas for a better future. With the following quotes in mind, Prof. @Chris Knapp facilitated the last session of the day: “The best way to predict the future is to design it.” “Being less bad is still no good.” Seven presenters shared their one idea to make it happen: – Jeremy McLeod (BREATHE ARCHITECTURE LIMITED) – Form follows finance. – Daniel Fink (Republica) – The real salvation is going to come from the user. – Murray Ellen (PT Blink) – Making homes attainable and affordable to young people. – Tyler Pullen (Terner Labs) – More international study tours builds need and momentum. – Giulia Scagliotti (Stanford University) – More collaboration between different stakeholders. – Justine Prain (Energiesprong UK) – Build a transportable home so people and builders can touch and see what a comfortable home is like. – Dr Sarah Breen Lovett (University of Newcastle) – Leverage the self-build of the construction industry. #BetterBuildingsFaster #MMC #ModernMethodsofConstruction #IndustrialisedConstruction #MakingItHappen

Planning is about balancing priorities. That’s why we can’t continue to make planning policy decisions based solely on architectural studies like this. Because when heritage laws restrict upgrades to old buildings and ban new homes from whole suburbs, every Canberran loses out. https://buff.ly/3SRaS4u

In addition to my pride in Vietnamese heritage, as an architect, I find it fascinating that in a rapidly urbanising world, where many cities are becoming more fragmented and isolated, the lively streetscape of our Vietnamese cities stands as a valuable reminder of the importance of community and human connection.

Housing and urban policy researcher and comparativist interested in systems connections, equity, and justice.
Urban regimes are not shaped just within the city, they are multidimensional. We often focus on federal influence, but states are strong actors too. States don’t just set the urban policy framework, they constantly shape local policies dynamically in many ways. This paper focuses on how Nashville’s Inclusionary Housing policy changed since it was first proposed and why it became what it did. One big takeaway from this study for me as someone working on implementation evaluation is to focus on the factors that contribute to a policy’s success or failure, not just evaluate the end result. Working on this paper also exposed me to some interesting ideas about how we define “mandatory” and “voluntary” inclusionary housing policies. Housing research often says “Inclusionary housing is not a silver bullet” ( no one policy is!). In Nashville’s case, I found it also may not be the best first arrow to launch. #statepreemption #inclusionaryhousing #Nashville
A recent working paper by Naganika Sanga (Abt Global and the Collective for Equitable Housing (Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning, University of Michigan)) addresses a gap in current research by examining Nashville’s interest and experience in implementing inclusionary housing (IH) policy from 2016-2021 in the face of the Tennessee legislature’s IH restrictions.

Catch Ted Landsmark on WBUR’s Radio Boston as he discusses the transformation of Boston’s Hurley and Lindemann buildings. “It was an intention to transform the neighborhood from what it had been as a kind of vibrant, run down area of housing and shops into an area that could be viewed as the same as the center of government not just for the city but for the region.” #UrbanRedevelopment #Architecture #PublicPolicy #UrbanPlanning #C2CImpactEngine https://lnkd.in/eqm586Q4
