B3.2 Blocks and typologies

The layout and structure of our neighbourhoods can shape how places feel and function. When we thoughtfully design blocks and building types, we create a strong foundation for welcoming, walkable, and well-connected communities. A considered approach to scale, layout, and movement helps places feel open and easy to navigate, whilst supporting a sense of identity and belonging.
