Richard Saunders, our partner in Agency – Retail, contributes to THIS article in Business Green, sharing his thoughts on how high streets can incorporate sustainability concerns into wider planning and development.
Most high streets were designed for a different century and for a climate that no longer exists, meaning efforts to rejuvenate them must consider challenges posed by hotter summers and wetter winters.
States Richard: I’m very supportive of greener high streets but our focus needs to be on interventions that are built to last. Short-term measures might look good on paper, but their value is limited if they don’t address the underlying issues affecting our high streets.“
