Making the case for place Sara Bailey Presentation 28 June 2017
Placemaking and value ● What is Placemaking? ● Does Placemaking matter? ● Does it create value? ● How can the Law help or hinder?
What is placemaking? ● Placemaking can be small scale or large scale ● About creating and delivering a vision of a place to work, live and play ● Meridian Water large scale example of delivering place ● Industrial site no place there at all at the moment ● Needs imagination, courage, skill and flexibility
Does it create value? ● Highly Valued Hard to Value ● Investing and creating place by its nature helps increase values ● Challenges include short term financial models, procurement, ability to include in valuations ● Proof is in outcome
How can the law help or hinder? ● Flexibility essential ● Procurement needs to be scoped correctly at the outset ● One size does not fit all ● Understand the aim of the parties not just legally but practically
