Urban Ecosystems

Integrated development

February 23, 2025

Looking beyond sustainable design, nicholas always strives to create urban environments which contribute positively to the biosphere. This means not simply “keeping things as they are” – which “sustainability” implies – but making a real difference.

We advocate for integrated development, which is created by vertically stacking an imaginative mixed-use programme above transport infrastructure such as rail and light rail.

Developing at intensity creates symbiotic “hubs” which strengthen both the built environment and its transportation links – internal and external. The symbiosis is both social and economic.

Let’s intensify and activate our cities in the right places – in intelligent ways – and increase opportunities for business and for social interaction.

We strongly believe that development should be regenerative – improving outcomes for both the environment and for people.
