Exeter City Council said the Liveable Exeter Placemaking Charter is not just about constructing buildings but also about crafting thriving communities.
Exeter City Council in the UK has developed a charter to ensure all developments across the city are designed and built to quality standards with sustainability and thriving communities in mind.
The council said the Liveable Exeter Placemaking Charter is not just about constructing buildings but also about crafting thriving communities that future generations will be proud to call home.
The charter was drawn up as a result of the collaborative working of Exeter Design Quality Partnership, which saw the coming together of city council officers, developers, and design specialists to push for exceptional design and sustainability standards.
The charter aims to foster an inclusive, healthy, and sustainable urban environment, aligning closely with Exeter’s Vision 2040, ensuring developments contribute positively to the city’s fabric.
The charter emphasises the use of innovative planning tools to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible and socially beneficial.
“Exeter has seen significant growth over recent years and has an exciting future ahead as one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities”
The initiative reflects a significant step towards realising a model of urban development that respects both heritage and modernity. By embracing such forward-thinking policies, Exeter wants to set a benchmark for cities worldwide.
“Exeter has seen significant growth over recent years and has an exciting future ahead as one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities,” said council leader Phil Bialyk.
“We aim to harness this growth to create a world-class city that meets the needs of all current and future residents.”
