How can an unused railway site be reimagined as a nature-positive urban space? We’re thrilled that our design to regenerate a former industrial railway site owned by FS Sistemi Urbani in Comune di Bologna has won the C40 Cities Reinventing Cities competition.  Located about three kilometres to the north-west of the city, the Green Soul redevelopment proposal will recast the Ravoni-Prati district as an urban link, with a new rail station and bridge playing a strategic role for reconnecting the area. The neighbourhood will promote a sustainable lifestyle, where the landscape is in synergy with the ‘nature-positive’ community, becoming a key element for the resilient response to climate change and a driver for decarbonisation. We’ll be working as the lead architect and urban planner on the masterplan for the site, alongside real estate developer Nhood Services Italy and Politecnico di Milano as environmental expert.

My big takeaway from a recent trip to London is how much greening of skyscrapers is planned or underway. Through very different planning mechanisms than Singapore (and their mandated landscape replacement requirements), London will look a lot more like Singapore in ten years. And that’s a great thing for the evolution of public space in all global cities as the ripple effects will be enormous. As cities get denser we will need to look for opportunities for meaningful, accessible and programmed vertical open space. KPF

With the potential to be one of south west Sydney’s most significant urban renewal projects, the master plan for Moore Point reached an important milestone last week after an almost decade-long process. Our masterplan for the 32ha site was placed on public exhibition, after being cleared by the NSW Government. Our urban team has been undertaking studies for the project for several years, cumulating in a planning proposal lodged in 2020. If approved, the rezoning could see 11,000 new homes be built, with at least 400 of these to be allocated as affordable housing for frontline workers, a new 1000 student public school and over 10ha of open space. The master plan makes use of the unique waterfront position for public amenity, with the inclusion of over 6ha of public space along the riverfront, connected with green gridded streets, bridges and a bus interchange. The Planning Proposal was prepared by Mecone - Urban Planning in collaboration with a design team that includes Turf Design Studio for public domain, Hatch for place-making, and Yerrabingin Pty Ltd for connecting with Country, along with an incredible team of consultants. Our Director, Jonathan Knapp has been there from the beginning and is thrilled to see the project take this significant step. “This could be one of the most important urban renewal projects for our city, and to see the years of work by our team be recognised is not only incredibly rewarding but also a major step in the right direction to provide more housing and amenity for the communities of Sydney.” Client: Coronation Property and Leamac Property Group Featured on SMH, Daily Telegraph and The Urban Developer this week. https://lnkd.in/gPjPVcdc
