The Good Development Plan launched by ReGenerate and Quality of Life Futures explores how purpose-driven development can and should be the norm, rather than the exception. 12 months in the making, we’re super pleased to have played a part in shaping it.

The report makes a compelling case for something we believe strongly at Fabrix – development can create better outcomes for people, place and planet while delivering robust, long term commercial returns. These things don’t need to compete – done well, they reinforce one another.

It sets out 14 practical interventions to help create the conditions for better development – from how we measure long term value and structure investment, to public private partnerships, placemaking and greater collaboration across the industry.

A huge amount of work has gone into this research, drawing on the collective experience and input of a number of organisations including Fabrix, and with the support of The Crown Estate, Landsec, Muse and HGG London.

It’s been a privilege to be a part of it and to see our project Walworth Corners featured as an example of what purpose-driven development can look like in practice.

The first asset we’re delivering through Fabrix Sustainable Communities with PATRIZIA, Walworth Corners is transforming a stranded 1980s office block into a new neighbourhood quarter centred on community, food and nature – redefining student living while unlocking genuinely affordable homes and meaningful social infrastucture.

For us, that’s what purpose-driven development is about – starting with genuine local need and the outcomes a place can create, then finding the model and partnerships that enables them to be delivered for the long term.
