Place-making remains a key objective for the public sector.

Financial viability is critical for this given the current economic landscape, with rising prices, a lack of suitable land and competing views of different stakeholders. Creating places where people not only want to live, but also work and play continues to be crucial, requiring creative thinking to deliver more for less.
