'Innovation Districts: Designing Inclusive Places' launches today! This NLA report identifies how the landscape of Innovation Districts is rapidly changing, no longer solely connected to anchor education and research institutions alone, innovation hubs are emerging in urban contexts, with proximity to businesses, diversity, culture and innovation.

The report presents an exclusive summary of key recommendations that different stakeholders should consider when creating an inclusive innovation district, as well as a showcase of over 50 projects that are supporting and having a transformational impact on the education, healthcare, technology and innovation sectors in the UK.

We're pleased that some of our work on Oxford's West End, for Oxford City Council, has been featured: "A framework approach has been favoured for a new ambitious innovation district in the heart of Oxford. Working with Oxford Council, Levitt Bernstein has evolved a spatial framework that includes a public realm and movement strategy, design guides and a masterplan for Osney Mead Industrial Estate. Following a process of comprehensive stakeholder engagement, the framework will become adopted as a pragmatic SPD, which will set a benchmark for future developments and define a shared vision to unlock the potential for innovation.”
