5/… 2. Requiring all developments to contribute towards creating places that work well, feel right and look good. All easier to say than achieve, I know, but as the quoted report shows, more of the same just won’t work.
4/…Led by the new NPPF, urban planning should be based on 2 core principles: 1. Creating places that support the well-being of the people whose lives connect in and with them - now and in the future; and…
3/…With an exception for agricultural (and similar) needs, there should be a ban on developing further housing that is car-dependent: we have plenty of that already, so that choice will still be there for those who want it…
2/…Place-planning and transport planning have to be fully integrated, with the integrated planning bodies having the resources and powers to deliver as well as plan. Active travel provision and public transport connectivity must be primary requirements…
The depth of reform needed to ensure new housing is in the right places shouldn’t be underestimated. It has to include giving public planning and development bodies land assembly and “master developer” powers and a duty to create truly walkable places…1/ theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Not reported much in some parts of The Commonwealth, but hugely important…
Last week, 56 nations adopted the Apia Commonwealth Ocean Declaration at #CHOGM2024 - a historic commitment to protect our oceans. Key aspects: ✅ 30% ocean protection by 2030 ✅ Finalising Global Plastics Treaty ✅ Enhancing marine renewable energy 🔗 bit.ly/48okQRx

Very happy to be back in the Dominican Republic for the opening of this year’s Caribbean Urban Forum #CUF2024 - the first in a non-English speaking part of the Caribbean. A really exciting agenda for the next 3 days.
@zopink @Keir_Starmer @KateRaworth /3 The tree has also contributed greatly to the quality of life our family and our neighbours have enjoyed and shared. It’s a mature tree; it’s not grown much but it has thrived - and it’s enhanced our well-being. Growth isn’t everything. #DoughnutEconomics
@zopink @Keir_Starmer @KateRaworth This Lime tree was already mature when we moved in, those 40 years ago. It hasn’t grown much since then - but it continues to thrive. It supports the well-being of generation after generation of birds (families of Jackdaws have lived in it for probably over 100 years) and bees 2/
@zopink @Keir_Starmer I’m sure you are right. I’m typing this sitting in our garden on a lovely May evening looking past our home to the street-side tree that was one of the reasons we fell in love with this place 40 years ago…1/ #DoughnutEconomics @KateRaworth
Great report @Localis! 1st recommendation is the need for strategic planning. How many more reports about building resilient places & addressing our key economic, climate & infrastructure challenges will we need before the Government listens? #Bringbackstrategicplanning

@CatrionaRiddel1 @Localis How about this set of 3 recent publications as core reading for everyone aiming to shape and repurpose places so that they can support the social, economic and overall well-being of those whose lives connect with them and in them?… #15minuteCity #DesignforLife @DemocracyNet_
We’ve got our copy and will be using it to check our work!
In the wake of attacks by conspiracy theorists, Carlos Moreno is out with a new book that seeks to school the world on his pervasive urban planning concept trib.al/qAuqM3W
What a fascinating article about another very complex urban challenge. We urgently need to develop properly integrated urban planning, management and maintenance strategies.
