A sense of place, the quality of buildings and landscape, the levels of vitality and accessibility – all these factors contribute to the creation of a successful town or city, one that can compete effectively with other locations and attract residents, businesses and visitors alike. Sustainable regeneration is a complex process involving many disciplines in working together towards a common goal. Tibbalds believes that creative thinking and great design are crucial to unlocking the full potential of an area and to reversing the process of decline. Urban Design has a vital contribution to make to the regeneration process and to creating places that work better for all their users. Our work includes: • area wide urban design strategies; • regeneration frameworks and Area Action Plans; • planning policies and design guidance; and • public consultation and involvement.
