Doncaster Council has officially adopted LUC's Play Parks Infrastructure Policy as part of the #GetDoncasterMoving initiative. This commission follows prior collaboration between LUC and the local authority on the 'Doncaster Future Parks Strategy'. The strategy helped the council to secure £3.1 million in investment from Sport England for parks and open spaces. The newly adopted policy outlines a progressive vision for play in Doncaster, focusing on the need for challenging and engaging #play #opportunities for #diverse age groups and abilities. The policy includes principles required for creating and improving play facilities and addresses design standards, delivery, and management principles to ensure a focus on an #inclusive play environment. We took steps to base all the recommendations on good evidence through #community engagement. Our experts conducted comprehensive research, including extensive consultation, engagement, detailed audits of play areas, and accessibility assessments to understand the local needs. The results helped the final policy to have ‘buy-in’ and support from a wide range of stakeholders. LUC is pleased to be part of the ambitious new approach that ensures the community benefits from play-related investments. The adopted policy builds on LUC's substantial portfolio of open space and play strategies and studies conducted nationwide. #LandscapeandOpenSpaceManagement #PlayParkInfrastructurePolicy

Engage with YourGround NSW to shape safer and more equitable public spaces throughout New South Wales! 🌐✨ Watch to discover how YourGround NSW gathers perceptions of safety to inform how public spaces in NSW are inclusively planned and designed. Pin a spot and join us in creating streets, parks, and journeys that feel safer for everyone. Let's build a more inclusive and secure community together! 💙🗺️ . . . . . [Alt-text: Video reel with text, reading, “What is spatial equity? Spatial means relating to or occupying space and equity relates to the quality of being fair. Equal access is a complex combination of individual access to public space, equitable share of collective resources, economic development and access and inclusion as human-rights. But currently, access, inclusion and belonging are unevenly distributed across society. This is because how we experience public space, and how we are treated there, is profoundly shaped by who we are – by our identity. Gender, ethnicity, ability, sexuality, age, indigeneity – and complicated combinations of these – often result in discrimination, which means that some are excluded from public space, or exclude themselves because of bad experiences there. Gender is a major barrier to access for a large proportion of society. What is YourGround NSW doing to improve urban spatial equity? The YourGround NSW interactive map allows you to anonymously pin a spot, tell a story or share an experience about your feelings of safety while using public space –whether for study, work, play or transport. Safety in the city is complex, and the YourGround NSW map will generate data to show how important it is to obtain a wide range of perspectives in evaluations of any interventions or proposed interventions. Tell us about the places you walk, work, study, play, and hang out with friends and family. Pin a spot, share your experience and help make your street, your park, your journey, your way safer for everyone.] #YourGroundNSW #Street #Park #Journey #Way #Place #Play #Walk #Beach #Identity #Inclusion #Equity #Access #Women #GenderDiverse #PublicSpace #Cycling #SaferCities

Creative Placemaking is top of mind for public space professionals in 2024 according to Project for Public Spaces. And it's no wonder - with so many people feeling disconnected, overworked, and even burned out, we need inspiring places to gather more than ever. The good news is there are so many ways to inject playfulness, comfort, and creativity into our communities. One small aspect of placemaking is through creative features that are thoughtfully curated and integrated into the development. We've gathered some of our favourite projects over the years to showcase some of the ways creative features can bring new life to communities. What are some of your favourite places to gather in your city? #publicart #communitydevelopment #placemaking #creativefeatures #projectforpublicspaces

Catch Eli Dvorkin and I in amNY today, making the case that the time is *now* for the city to think outside the box with new ways to sustainably fund our parks and open space—their ongoing maintenance, and future creation. (And our Center for an Urban Future report has 20 ideas to do exactly that.) https://lnkd.in/eR8X7zJ5

Trees in the ground is the only way that species will reach growth potential and contribute fully to BNG and greater environmental benefits - the street planter solution is often the go-to due to budgets and underground services but whilst this can be understandable in some retro-fit scenarios should never be the case for new developments and public realm projects.
