Creating Liveable Places
Shaping the attractive and inspiring places where life unfolds
The built environment is expected to expand by an area equivalent to the size of Japan every year. Without co-ordinated planning and implementation, this will present significant environmental, social and economic challenges. A focus on liveability is a key factor in attracting residents, businesses and tourists.
This means implementing the right governance and infrastructure whilst ensuring that places are healthy, safe, accessible and sustainable.
The concept of liveability is often applied to entire cities. But for people to experience liveability in their daily lives, the streets, buildings and infrastructure that enable a place to function and thrive must also be considered.
