​European Urban Regeneration: Creating Sustainable and Unique Urban Environments

On July 21, 2023, one of Chapman Taylor's urban regeneration and masterplanning specialists, UK Board Director Chris Lanksbury, took the stage in Shanghai to share insights on European experiences of urban regeneration. The event attracted a diverse audience, both in-person and online, with over 8,000 attendees.

The event was organised by Xiongda Design Hub who is a media platform that specialises in hosting architecture-related events, and CAID (the China Association of International Design) which acts as a unifying platform for international architecture, landscape, planning, engineering design and consulting practices in mainland China.

The event's primary focus was to showcase to the Chinese market the design and implementation of sensitive urban regeneration masterplans from pioneers in the field of urban regeneration in Europe. With a portfolio of internationally acclaimed projects, Director Chris Lanksbury presented several Chapman Taylor masterplans that restored and enhanced the urban fabric of European cities.

During the 30-minute speech, Director Chris Lanksbury highlighted some of Chapman Taylor’s remarkable completed projects, including:

MediacityUK and St. Pancras International Station, UK: By understanding the essence of the UK's architectural heritage and contemporary requirements, the team has revitalised and reinvigorated these run-down areas, serving as testaments to successful urban regeneration.

NOI Techpark, Italy: With a deep appreciation for Italy's rich cultural heritage, the team delivered a tech park that cohesively integrates modern facilities with historical significance, fostering innovation and collaboration.

The Flow Building, Czech Republic: Embracing Czech Republic's unique charm, the Flow Building exemplifies how urban regeneration can complement the local character, offering a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics.

The speech provided valuable insights into the intricate process of integrating urban regeneration projects into existing cities to create successful, distinctive, and high-quality developments. By considering the needs and aspirations of both the built environment and the community, Chris showcased how sustainable and contextually aware designs can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of urban living.

The event served as an exceptional platform for exchanging knowledge and promoting the importance of urban regeneration in creating livable and resilient cities for the future. Chapman Taylor’s urban regeneration portfolio demonstrates our commitment to transforming urban landscapes across Europe and beyond.
