Creating liveable cities

Around the world, more and more people are flocking to cities to live, work and play. Urbanisation presents an incredible opportunity for humanity but without out proper planning and design, the cities of the future won’t be places where we can fully unlock our potential. At Arcadis, we work to improve quality of life for people in cities, helping to make urban spaces into liveable environments where people can thrive.

Liveable Places - The Fundamentals of Successful Placemaking

Places impact on the quality of people’s lives. Whether a park, a building, a town or city, people and communities thrive when the spaces in which they live, work, move and play are designed and managed in a way that best meets their needs. We have identified five fundamentals for successful placemaking, laying the foundations for a new approach to creating happy, healthy, integrated and thriving new communities.
