Integrated Development – 1

December 25, 2025

Integration is more than a design philosophy. 

It is the key to urban success – socially, environmentally and economically.

When work, life, and leisure coexist within the same fabric, community becomes a matter not an afterthought left to chance.

We skilfully interweave uses within our urban developments to create walkable and vibrant people-centred spaces.

Single-use precincts, such as “dormitory suburbs” are in use for only part of the day. Whereas integrated developments are active throughout the 24-hour cycle. 

In integrated developments, density delivers connections. Spaces remain alive beyond working hours, sustaining social and economic life through the 24-hour cycle.

Keeping people on site for longer drives demand for goods and services and is good for business.

Each layer supports another: public transport reduces distance, mixed-use reduces waste, shared presence restores balance.

It also reduces car dependency. Medium- and high-density integrated development can be arranged around transit hubs and thus more easily serviced by public transport.

This is the power of regenerative design.
