Exploring Challenges and Innovation Opportunities for Public Space in Urban Commercial Real Estate

Description

Connected Places Catapult is looking to commission research to help inform our strategies related to public space in urban CRE developments. Introduction and Context Public spaces are essential for creating vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban environments. They play a critical role in fostering social cohesion, enhancing community well-being, and supporting local economic growth, while also contributing to environmental sustainability. Despite their significance, public spaces are often deprioritised in urban CRE development due to legal and financial constraints, or overshadowed by other pressing priorities, such as the need for affordable housing or environmental measures. Simultaneously, technology advancements, growing economic uncertainty, and shifting societal dynamics are reshaping both the nature and function of public spaces. In this context, the Catapult is looking to commission one or more research studies to explore the challenges and opportunities for innovation in public space within the urban CRE sector in the UK, and where relevant, including insights and best practices from other countries. This research would provide vital evidence and insights that will help the Catapult support innovation in how public spaces are designed, delivered, and used within CRE, for enhanced social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
