612. What Makes a Neighborhood Successful? New Acres, London – Denz Ibrahim – Urbanistica Podcast – Cities for People
Denz Ibrahim, Head of Futuring & Placemaking at L&G, London. Through New Acres in Wandsworth, London, we explore how placemaking can move beyond traditional real estate models and “cookie-cutter” development. Denz shares how New Acres combines homes, independent businesses, coworking, wellness, makers, public spaces and community activities to create a distinctive neighborhood with a strong sense of belonging.We also discuss the relationship between placemaking and economic value, community involvement, the importance of curating the right mix of uses, and how technology and AI should support rather than replace human experiences. And when it comes to measuring success, Denz challenges traditional metrics with a different question: could we measure “smiles per square foot”?More links about the project:https://am.landg.com/https://www.newacreswandsworth.com/Denz Ibrahim on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/denz-ibrahim-a2b80026/___Keep Up the Good Work.
