Sustainable placemaking
JTP has a long track record of working to create socially, economically and environmentally sustainable places. The scope of our services extends from the city to the building, encompassing everything in between. Many of our projects incorporate large areas for nature restoration from the London Wetland Centre, Barnes, which recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary, to The Green Quarter, Southall, which is currently on site. Our Garden Community projects will typically retain over 50% of the site area as green space so there is considerable potential for nature restoration and rewilding. We work closely with landscape architects, hydrologists and ecologists to integrate the design and use of green and blue infrastructure to deliver healthy, accessible landscape for people to enjoy whilst creating rich, biodiverse environments for nature. It was for this reason that we wanted to see for ourselves Knepp and all its wonders.
