With “predictions of over 20% of the population in Virginia Beach being 65 or older by 2030”, Aviva Pembroke is designed to address the growing need for senior housing in the region.

Pleased to see progress on Nottingham's Broad Marsh area. Back in September 2020 Green Hustle's first festival, all online in the pandemic, hosted (alongside friends at Nottingham Climate Assembly) the first public meeting on re-imagining this opportune former shopping centre site... In an assembly format, we listened to over 60 attendees' hopes and dreams for our city's future. You can watch the whole thing back here: https://lnkd.in/di64e2br Background info was provided by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust CEO Paul Wilkinson as well as two of our most pioneering and community-minded politicians, then-Deputy Leader and Carbon Neutral Nottingham 2028 champion Sally Longford and the ever-excellent Nadia Whittome MP. Ok it wasn't a terribly balanced panel, but was at a green-themed festival and 10,000 people had at that point already signed a petition calling for it to be made a green space. Early days for me, my very first experience co-designing and facilitating anything like an assembly. We also heard from a seven year old, and the brilliant Lucelia Rodrigues reflecting on what our youngest citizens wanted to see from the space from school engagement. But it was what came from our participants that was the magic, and it helped stimulate the official Big Conversation, playing a part in informing these plans. Jury is out on whether they deliver... Glad to see so many green roofs, more room given over to people and nature, even an actual marsh! And space for celebrating our heritage, which is what Nottingham people called for. (I just hope the Green Heart park doesn't get any smaller) The new NHS diagnostic centre and re-use of the broadly unloved old Broadmarsh centre's rather brutal frame is also, I think, fantastic. People power! 🏹 💚 EDITS - some good people have contradicted my initially rosey assessment, and I admit it isn't perfect. I have rebalanced a bit. I don't think we're ever all going to be totally happy AND it be viable for developers. Maybe a medium is being found here. I hope it is at least as green as the picture paints... Let's remember many people also find the idea of it being a big green space ridiculous and impractical, though I would love that too! I am proud of what we did in growing the conversation and demanding real engagement.

In 2024, we conducted a series of interviews with Scottish Futures Trust and with support from Homes for Scotland. This engaged leading representatives of development companies with recent delivery experience of newbuild or retrofit housing across Scotland’s town centres from Kirkwall to St Andrews, Clydebank and Innerleithen. Here, we share the findings that explore the opportunities and barriers to successful Town Centre Living developments, drawing on insights from private-sector housing developers in Scotland: https://bit.ly/UtCL2025 The project was initiated and will be followed up by the Town Centre Living working group partners, which include Architecture and Design Scotland, Scottish Futures Trust, Scotland's Towns Partnership, Scottish Land Commission.
