A better approach to Real Estate and Area Development
In co-creation with the local communities, Place-Led Development takes the principles of placemaking, human scale, social life and the city at eye level and uses them as the fundament for the entire real estate or area development.
By creating more inclusive, resilient and sustainable urban areas in collaboration with all the stakeholders, Place-Led Development contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals, with emphasis on:
Good health and well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
SDG3
Gender equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
SDG5
Sustainable cities and communities
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
SDG11
Partnerships for the goals
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development
SDG17
We promote the creation of places that put people and community first – place led, develop networks and contribute to systemic change.
Urban development must place the social quality of communities at the forefront.
