Networks and pockets of high quality urban space are critical components of liveability, providing many benefits related to health, well-being, nature and environmental quality.
As our cities continue to densify the need for sophisticated external environments grows.

It is critical within these projects to deliver on expectations for excellent investor return, sustainable social capital and also create great places to live.

One of the key challenges facing cities today is how they can maintain and improve their liveability.
