Welcome to our April newsletter. In this edition we take a look at Town Centre Living and the creation of Caring Places.
What does a caring place look like? How we can use design to help create a caring place? What value does design bring? As part of this conversation we will be inviting designers, care profession and those cared for (through the organisations that represent them) to share their thoughts. In this newsletter we start to look at these questions.
A&DS is developing a design advice service specifically around public housing and town centre living. The service aims to help improve the quality of proposals commissioned by public sector clients and support the delivery of the Scottish Government Housing and Town Centre agendas and the ‘Town Centre First Principle’.
