In this insightful overview presented by Helen Collins, Director of Savills Housing Consultancy, we explore the principles of sustainable urbanism and its application in creating vibrant, walkable neighborhoods. Discover key factors such as effective policy implementation, success lessons from various developments, and the positive outcomes of tenure-blind housing approaches. By focusing on mixed communities and integrated public spaces, we highlight how policies can stimulate demand and break down barriers for affordable housing, fostering organic growth and enhancing community resilience.
