We’re excited that the medieval city of York, UK is one of 10 shortlisted cities in the #TMFSustainableCities Challenge. With old and winding streets, managing the movement of both people and goods can be difficult, but more cohesive fleets of transport and data-driven approaches could make the systems more resilient.

Competition is high for such valued sites......

I think both Larisa and Michael make great points here (tap on Larisa’s post to see more), and I agree with both of them! That said, I’m going to be a little bit of a curmudgeon and say that the “should become this-or-that” is situational. Among other questions, we have to ask (a) how today’s #cbd issues are different than what happened to so many #downtowns after mass #suburbanization in the 1950’s, and (b) how do you know which CBD’s are better positioned for #returntowork than others? These are among the challenges we’re tackling with our clients on every DT/CBD project we’re working on, and the answers are key to addressing #communitydevelopment, #communitydesign, and #equity! #retailresilience #retailstrategy #economicdevelopment #office #liveworkplay #liveworkshop

How the Hamilton2030 Commonwealth Games bid inspired Community Regeneration. Things are quiet now. Everything is in transition. Doubts and questions remain, about, well, everything. But something notable happened today in the City Of Hamilton. The start of something significant. While the dream of bringing the 2030 Commonwealth Games home for its centenary may be in abeyance, the vision of a movement of community stakeholders united around the goal of transformation and regeneration remains. And has witnessed new life today in the launch of an initiative inspired by the Commonwealth Sporting movement. Not surprisingly, it is called: "The Commons". The Commons is an initiative of local stakeholders redeveloping the city's key entertainment assets - those that would be central to any Commonwealth Games - and leveraging the effort to promote regeneration and revitalization throughout the community. The themes, values and ambitions of the Gaming movement have now manifest in the private sector's resolve to bring change directly and immediately to this city through infrastructure and compelling new programming - at its expense. This is what the Games movement can and has inspired. Whether or not the Games ever come back here. That flame burns brightly in all of us. And will not extinguish. Whether you are from Hamilton or not, we invite you to keep the Games dream alive by engaging and following the Commons initiative at the link below.
