Embracing the local in a post-Covid world
The idea focuses on the creation of ‘inclusive, vibrant and healthy neighbourhoods’ that are readily adaptable to the changing needs of residents while keeping to this time limit.
Transport
Transit Oriented Developments create vibrant, livable, sustainable communities. Also known as TODs, they create compact, walkable, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use communities centered around transit systems. This makes it possible to plan for denser, more sustainable cities whose population can live a lower-stress life without dependence on the automobile.
The road ahead for driverless cars
For years, we’ve been told to expect a transport revolution: get ready for the driverless car!

But aside from feeling twinges of jealousy when watching self-controlled limos speeding characters around on shows like Westworld, we’ve more or less let the whole idea slip from our consciousness.
Laying the tracks for great Transit Oriented Developments
For today’s developers, urban planners and governments, development around transit areas requires extremely careful planning. Here we explore the key principles that will allow projects to truly serve and support their surrounding communities.
