About
A recent graduate of Architecture and Urban Planning I have a keen interest in sustainable design and the future of shaping our communities.
Where might you find a tight-knit community: a small town, or a big city? The answer seems obvious. The rural nature of contained towns provides an organic framework for neighbourhoods to form. Taking influence from small towns, how can this kind of community be created in a City Centre such as Dundee? This project seeks to answer the question, through development of an all-encompassing framework at both city-wide and site-specific scale, testing the three core principles of housing, amenity and public space to create a thriving neighbourhood. The Small Town City puts residents back at the heart of Dundee, sparking connections between people, activity, and spaces. This forms a diverse, desirable centre, encouraging the population to condense rather than sprawl. Small City Centres are fading – particularly in Scotland - The Small Town City challenges this narrative, creating a desirable urban environment shared by all.
