3 What are Garden Cities? Garden City Principles

4 How to deliver a new generation of Garden Cities? Dedicated approach - enabled by government, led by local authorities Modernise the New Towns Act not just locally-led Strategic national spatial approach to determine areas of search Local authority led studies to determine locations New Town Dev Corps with a legal requirement to deliver modern Garden City principles - from meaningful participation and long-term stewardship to climate resilience and zero carbon design Part of a portfolio of approaches needed investment in existing towns and cities also essential

5 Are we there yet? Government s Locally-led garden villages, towns and cities programme New Regulations and guidance on Locally-led New Town Development Corporations Announcement of 5 new Garden Towns NIC Ox-MK-Cam Corridor New Town/s

6 Practical guides to delivery Locating and consenting new Garden Cities Finance and Delivery Design and Masterplanning Planning for Energy and Climate Change Homes for All I'd love to live there! Art and Culture Planning for Green and Prosperous Places Creating health promoting environments Long-term Stewardship Coming soon: Community participation Coming soon: Local food

7 Location and consent a strong evidence base, compiled using a range of assessments and capacity studies incl. SEA/SA an organisational approach that includes strong local leadership, thinking beyond the Local Plan boundary, meaningful engagement and taking a long-term view; and a set of locational criteria covering how the scale and spatial options for growth, good connectivity, and the maximisation of opportunities to deliver sustainable development and bridge regional inequalities.

8 Finance and Delivery There is always an opportunity for land value capture Funding sources will be diverse but places can be selffinancing over time The right delivery body will de-risk the process for investors and stakeholders A dedicated organisation with the right staff, skills and resources is essential there is a continuum of models available Successful places require a long-term stewardship model The right financial model can ensure funds are available in perpetuity to maintain community assets.

9 Long-term Stewardship Planning for long-term stewardship: Start early, think long-term and beyond greenspace and take it step by step. Paying for long-term stewardship: Revenue funding essential, be entrepreneurial, save money through good design, evolve as the community grows. Running a stewardship body: Good stewardship requires good governance, the right skills and capacity are essential, ensure an ongoing dialogue with residents.

10 Design and Masterplanning There are specific design opportunities when planning at scale and each site is unique. Garden City principles are a framework not a blueprint. Councils can set high standards and increase expectations of quality to create places to be proud of A masterplan is a flexible strategic framework on which a community can grow over time Exemplar communities require a skilled, crossdisciplinary team taking a holistic approach and long-term view.

11 The Garden City design ethic Innovation and imagination Marrying town and country Co-operation in design and place-making Character, distinctiveness and harmony; and Room to breathe Live in the sun at Welwyn Garden City
