One critical advantage of New Urbanism is that it blends residential, commercial, and retail spaces within the same multi-family development. This approach fosters a strong sense of community, making it easier for residents to connect and engage with their local environment. Morris Square in Charleston is a prime example of how small-scale developers can successfully implement New Urbanism. Allison Ramsey Architects played a crucial role in this vibrant, mixed-use community, designing everything from single-family homes to large mixed-use buildings alongside townhouses, a duplex, and a quadruplex. For small-scale developers, the growing focus on multi-family housing within New Urbanism represents more than a passing trend. It marks a significant transformation in the way cities are planned and lived in.

Demystifying Urban Planning. Our Atlanta office is truly a microcosm of HKS, Inc. even as we house 7 unique disciplines under one roof. To demystify the Urban Planning dimension of the Cities & Communities practice, we shared stories from 5 cities (Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Houston, Austin, and Dallas), to illustrate the possibilities of macro-thinking. Thanks to Lenise L., Zack Lofton, and Patrick Kennedy for giving us a window into their journey of using data, policy, economics, guidelines, and infrastructure to set the stage for architectural opportunities. The discussion highlighted the inherently complex and multifaceted nature of urban planning, but the greater value emerged from the questions posed by the audience of architects, interior designers and technology gurus! What do you wish Planning could do for our cities and communities? #urbanplanning #careerjourneys #cities #communities

Boston is setting a groundbreaking example for cities worldwide with its "Resilient Boston Harbor" plan. Led by Mayor Martin J. Walsh and visualized by SCAPE Landscape Architecture DPC, this visionary plan reimagines Boston's 47-mile shoreline as a bastion against rising seas and extreme weather, all while enhancing urban green spaces and accessibility. From strategic flood walls to the rejuvenation of public spaces, each measure is a step towards a future where urban landscapes are both resilient and vibrant. As Boston prepares for the challenges of rising sea levels and extreme weather, this plan is a testament to the power of foresight, collaboration, and innovation in urban planning. It's a call to action for cities everywhere to consider their relationship with nature and the legacy we leave for generations to come. Have you seen similar initiatives in your city?
