CONTEXT
The UK stands at a critical moment to tackle climate issues, and the city of Cambridge, with its world class University and world-renowned science and technology cluster is primed to lead.

COMMISSION
The Place Bureau worked with the Crown Estate developing a vision for a next generation business park. One that integrates local housing amongst the commercial space and local facilities. This project aims to bridge the gap in health and attainment outcomes that have been widening in the city. It also aims to capitalise on The Crown Estate’s national networks to ensure that success can scale - through local impacts, to national opportunities and planetary potential.
