Architects and planners are increasingly concerned with integrating green systems that ensure the well-being of urban communities into their projects. We spoke with Livia Shamir, Head of the Research Department at Stefano Boeri Architetti, about how this challenge plays out in different projects across the world and across income groups.

The social displacement of working class communities from cities, to new towns and the margins, after WW2 was a well meaning if flawed utopian ideal. Cities like London and Manchester weathered it. The economic “free market” displacement of our cities in recent decades is a more determined dystopia. When we reach a tipping point and those who make a city ( teachers, nurses, cleaners, workers) are reduced to purely servicing it from afar and the core is mainly for the rich and the visitor then it’s the economy more of the meringue than the doughnut. A priority for any new government should be to allow some more modern capability and from that strategy and vision in our planning system. Linked to reform of a legal system that, especially in the realm of development, has been reduced to a risible “who pays wins” pantomime.

Transforming Urban Spaces: How to Reintegrate Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects? ArchDaily reviews a selection of the best civic infrastructure projects, including the Grand Avenue Park Bridge designed by LMN Architects in collaboration with KPFF Consulting Engineers. “Some projects are designed with the ambition of traversing large-scale infrastructure as a means to re-establish both physical and social connections, offering residents new experiences while mitigating the impact of these structures. For instance, the Grand Avenue Park Bridge spans vast distances, bridging a five-lane highway and train tracks, adapting to elevation changes, and creating new vantage points for residents to engage with the waterfront, all while carrying essential electrical conduit lines.” To read the article, visit ArchDaily: https://lnkd.in/dTwqMbbw

The FP7 project iNSPiRe aimed to tackle the problem of high-energy consumption in buildings by producing systemic renovation packages for buildings. Insight was involved in this very large project, involving 24 European partners with a €30million budget from the proposal stage. We helped to define a complex communication and dissemination strategy to explain project aims, objectives and results. We also focused on training materials and promoting public awareness of the need for increased energy efficiency of all buildings, new or old. As such, much of the work involved developing material that helped explain complex research and development to a wide audience, using factsheets, infographics, animation and documentary film, as well as creating a clear brand identity for the project and managing a busy website and social media activity. Work also focused on the development and presentation of a dedicated training manual for industry to be used in the assessment of buildings for particular renovation solutions as well as information about specific iNSPiRe solutions that would support energy-saving impacts. This material was backed up by an online tool developed to display the energy performance of thousands of building types across Europe and these are still available online, free to use for research and industry alike. https://lnkd.in/eu8waigc
