- Denz Ibrahim, Head of Futuring & Placemaking at L&G, London.
Through New Acres in Wandsworth, London, we explore how placemaking can move beyond traditional real estate models and “cookie-cutter” development.
Denz shares how New Acres combines homes, independent businesses, coworking, wellness, makers, public spaces and community activities to create a distinctive neighborhood with a strong sense of belonging.
We also discuss the relationship between placemaking and economic value, community involvement, the importance of curating the right mix of uses, and how technology and AI should support rather than replace human experiences. And when it comes to measuring success, Denz challenges traditional metrics with a different question: could we measure “smiles per square foot”?

AFRY is an international engineering and design company providing sustainable solutions in the fields of energy, industry, and infrastructure. - David Sim, author of Soft City and founder of Think Softer, joins Mustafa Sherif for a conversation about how we can create cities that make everyday life better.
David reflects on the ideas behind Soft City, happiness and quality of life, living with the weather, climate responsive design, AI, and why we should think smaller, lower, slower and simpler when shaping our cities.
We also explore the importance of observing and listening as city makers, reusing what we already have, working with communities, and David’s ideas for his next book about repairing and reconnecting the existing urban fabric.
