🚨 Big News in North Scarborough! 🚨 The city is expanding its trial for multi-family housing by allowing 6-plexes—a step up from the 4-plexes introduced a few years ago. 🏘️ But what does this mean for the future of our cities? 🤔 While this move aligns with the push for more density, the question is: Should we take this across the entire city or is there a line we shouldn’t cross? 🤨 I’m torn on this one. What do you think? Should Toronto go all in on multi-family units or find a balance? Let’s talk about it! 💬👇 #TorontoRealEstate #CityGrowth #UrbanDevelopment #HousingCrisis #Scarborough #RealEstateDebate #6Plex #DensityForAll #TorontoHousing #SmartGrowth #FutureOfCities #CommunityVoices #RealEstateTalk #chriscucoch #cucochteam

As Paris 2024 draws to a close we have been reflecting on the work we have been doing in East London since London 2012. Since before the London games we have been advising boroughs and London Legacy Development Corporation, providing economic evidence and strategy advice on this generation defining project. We have supported planning policy, advised on economic impact, innovation, night time economy and workspace. We have delivered community engagement, social research and data analysis, driving a deeper understanding of change in London's fastest growing sub-region. A couple of years ago we were asked to support London Borough of Newham to develop a new vision for Stratford Town Centre. This was a different kind of approach, which went beyond a simple masterplan or economic strategy, aiming to put people, place, planet and purpose back into partners work. It considered the need to unite neighbourhoods under 'One Stratford', whilst also working with grain of grassroots sentiment and enthusiasm, to support new approaches. We think Stratford remains one of the most interesting and exciting place to work anywhere in the UK and a pleased with how the new strategy has already started to support new approaches to place and community. With this in mind, Chris Paddock and Carolina Eboli have taken time to reflect on this project here. See what you think - What can other places learn from this? Where might Stratford be by the time of LA '28? https://lnkd.in/e_DBFscV

LARGER TOWN SQUARE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY CENTRE A larger town square, with more accessible parking and road access that can also serve as additional space for community events, feature in the revised master plan for the first phase of Mount Barker’s City Centre project. Council and Burke Urban Investments (BUI) have released the updated plan with changes made to incorporate community feedback and in response to the decision of project partner Community Living Australia (CLA) to withdraw from the development while they await outcomes of NDIS reform which will shape the future of the organisation. Both the council and BUI remain committed to the City Centre development, which will create a high quality, mixed-use development precinct that will deliver significant community and economic benefits for Mount Barker’s future. The revised master plan retains earlier commitments for new community spaces, offices, retail areas, accommodation, a council-owned civic building and substantial car parking areas.

Lewisham Gateway - 20 years in the making   Conceived over 20 years ago, our vision for #LewishamGateway sought to transform a disjointed roundabout into a new #neighbourhood focused on #community, #connectivity, #sustainability and #socialimpact. We didn’t move mountains, but we did move two rivers and a roundabout. Today, where once stood a major urban artery defined by concrete is a welcoming #neighbourhood. The #community, both new and old, is now exploring and enjoying this new destination, with over 1,000 #newhomes, new shops, cafes, and restaurants, workspace, a gym, a 9-screen multiplex cinema and new public spaces.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and inflation, downtown Cleveland’s population continues to rise. In the past 20 years, the population has nearly tripled to around 21,000 residents, with strong demand for vibrant, walkable environments driving the growth. As the city continues to see momentum, the addition of 850 new apartments this year is a sign that Cleveland’s downtown is not only surviving but thriving. This shift also highlights a growing trend of people moving back to urban areas for more affordable living as suburban costs rise. As we watch this transformation unfold, it’s clear that Cleveland’s downtown is becoming a hub for talent, innovation, and community. The continued growth presents a unique opportunity for real estate investors, urban developers, and businesses looking to be part of Cleveland’s revitalization.
