More than just the physical layout and aesthetics, it is about creating spaces that encourage social interaction, promote inclusivity, and foster a sense of community. Cities are full of intricate social networks that help connect people and provide essential resources in times of stress and places where these connections flourish are referred to as social infrastructure. The possibility to build connections and be part of a community is an important element of all good cities and must be addressed in urban planning. Read more at https://lnkd.in/g4hebtwD

Introducing the Future of Communal Living with Associate Robin McKenna at Studio JCI! At Studio JCI, we design with four fundamental pillars in mind: People, Community, History, and Sustainability. These principles shape our innovative and meaningful living spaces. Stay tuned as we delve into our five groundbreaking projects in the coming weeks, showcasing how we bring these values to life. We believe these pillars are essential, but what do you think could be another important factor for co-living?

The second pattern in Social Design Patterns is openness between buildings, which fosters social sustainability. One effective strategy involves strategically dividing buildings to create a diverse array of destinations. By connecting these spaces with pathways and public areas, we can encourage interaction and community engagement, vital for a thriving social fabric. Emphasizing open, welcoming building facades further promotes connectivity and inclusivity, fostering meaningful connections within our communities. #SocialDesign #CommunityInteraction #SustainableLiving #UrbanDesign #CommunityEngagement #SocialSustainability #NeighborhoodConnections #ArchitectureForPeople i

This downloadable pdf is a fabulous resource: ‘MY Neighbourhood’ provides an extensive ‘check list’ of urban design principles that are applicable in diverse cultural and geographical contexts at the neighbourhood scale. This checklist ensures an integrated approach to neighbourhood design by integrating principles across five key city objectives, across sectors (transport, housing, public space, utilities etc), and across design dimensions (neighbourhood, street, open public space, and building unit). Please check it out 👇

Neighbourhoods are more than just streets and buildings — they are thriving places and community hubs shaping lives.  From environmental sustainability to transportation and green urban spaces, it is crucial to create inclusive spaces where everyone thrives!     The UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) "My Neighbourhood" guide is the key to creating connected, #inclusive, vibrant and #ResilientCities.     By incorporating this guide into early project preparation work, the Cities Investment Facility (hosted by UN-Habitat) ensures projects are rooted in community-centric design principles, fostering environments where diverse elements harmonize for sustainable, thriving #neighbourhoods.     👉 Explore the guide to discover diverse design tips rooted in research and real-life experiences to guide the urban planning of neighbourhoods that shine in social, economic, and environmental aspects: https://lnkd.in/dA_eKCQz erfan ali Erastus Njuki Donah Kathure Anastasia Ignatova Laura Petrella Pinar Caglin Salvatore Fundaró Herman Pienaar Mario Tavera Maia Smillie

In an era where automobiles are continually increasing in size, our urban landscape faces a crucial challenge: the finite nature of our street space. As vehicular dimensions expand, it becomes imperative to recalibrate our urban design approach. Emphasizing the need to prioritize pedestrian spaces over vehicular dominance is not just a design choice; it is a strategic imperative for fostering sustainable, human-centric urban environments. Balancing the scale and prominence of our streetscapes can pave the way for a more inclusive and walkable cityscape, fostering community connectivity and enhancing the overall urban experience.
