Every child has the right to a child-friendly, healthy and safe environment in which it can travel in an active, independent and dignified way. We have clearly failed our children. Massively.

We've made good strides incorporating public realm and landscape into development projects, but more consistency is needed. Let's keep raising the bar. #PublicRealm

Design codes should inspire new possibilities, not outline minimum compliance standards—moving beyond 'rulebooks' to become powerful visions for resilience. #VisionaryPlanning

Tomorrow's codes require careful balance between detailed guidance and meaningful flexibility to respond to evolving climate challenges.

The "space between buildings" isn't leftover land—it's the foundation for mental health, ecosystem services, active travel, and community life. #landscape #publicrealm

Quality public green spaces aren't luxuries—they’re lifelines for urban physical and mental health, mitigating inequalities along every step.

Everyday exposure to nature improves wellbeing significantly, yet too few design codes explicitly prioritize green space integration. Let's change that.

Don’t just call it community engagement—embrace meaningful, proactive collaboration with communities from initial vision through ongoing stewardship.

Flexibility built into design codes isn't uncertainty—it's strategic resilience. We must build capacity for future innovation into today's planning processes.

Good Design codes map "character areas" not just visually, but culturally and environmentally, to ensure developments feel authentic and context-sensitive.

Landscape-led principles can radically improve air-quality and micro-climates in urban area - we need this integrated as standard planning code criteria. #UrbanClimate

The biggest breakthroughs often come from the obstacles & pain points. Had quite a few of them this week! When discomfort appears, view it as a challenge to enhance your patience & problem-solving skills. Growth often lies beyond the edge of your comfort zone! Physical or mental

Want a successful place? Invest as heavily in public realm quality as you do in buildings—strong design codes mandate both are equally valued. #Landscape

Landscape-led design isn't just greenwashing: it's a powerful mechanism for addressing urgent climate, ecological degradation, and urban inequality challenges head-on

Resilience means planning ahead for future stresses. Quality outdoor spaces and green infrastructure dramatically reduce urban vulnerability.

Design Codes that champion active movement corridors, green networks for wildlife, and accessible transport do better than those merely specifying visual aesthetics

Is it enough just to say it's 'landscape-led'? We need stronger accountability ensuring landscapes really guide core decisions, priorities, and investments.

Can codes shape healthier communities? Absolutely, when incorporating explicit targets for green space access, active travel routes & reduced air pollution. #HealthyPlaces

My daily habits are a key foundation of my progress & success. Consistent, small actions towards a meaningful goal have changed my trajectory. Focus on creating habits that serve your vision. #Habits #Success Even when you don't feel like it!
