Marmalade Laneβs shared electric car club is at risk of folding because insurance companies are no longer willing to cover community car share. Hopefully an insurance company can step up to support this important sector.

Earlier this week, we held the first @qualityoflifeuk symposium and tried out a βfishbowlβ panel discussion format to explore issues impacting quality of life in housing. This sees audience members joining the panel to further the discussion. This is a mid-conversation snapshot!
Thanks so much to @Pelicanocoffee for the usual great coffee and amazing customer service. Much recommended for anyone in Brighton.

On my way to Cambridge for the @theAoU Congress, which will include tours of @WeTweetTOWNβs Marmalade Lane and of Hartree, our planned new quater of Cambridge with @landsec_uandi
And our seventh learning tour next Thursday afternoon will head to the newly named Hartree site in North East Cambridge, to look into the future of a new urban extension focused around walkability.
Led by a cohort of the project team

balconies are getting smaller all the time
This research by @yougov shows that, in spite of the noise, most people would like to live in a 15-minute neighbourhood (even if many think it would be hard to achieve in their own neighbourhood).

15-minute cities have become 2023's unexpected new front in the culture wars.. I've written this about them for the @ArchitectsJrnal

Masterclass rear court parking which often goes wrong (though clearly not planned for that) Defined tight entrance so you donβt feel you can wander in, surveillance by surrounding houses, landscaping to soften, gd boundary treatment materials and surface materials.
ALT Tight Entrance to parking with brick wall and planting slowing driving speeds and making people know itβs more private
ALT Lots of planting in parking court and gravel surface.

Here is a piece on large-scale co-living I've written for @TheDeveloperUK. A sector that sells a dream of community, but lacks serious post-occupancy research to understand its real impact on residents..

Help us name the Core Site, Cambridge!
As part of our work in North East Cambridge with @uandiltd, we're looking to rename the Core Site. In line with the guiding vision for the project, we'd like this to be Shaped by Many.
