Supporting urban renaissance
Encouraging compact, attractive urban development and increased housing in existing urban areas supports urban renaissance, helps conserve town settings, makes efficient use of resources, and achieves critical mass for regional economic growth.
The promotion of more sustainable forms of development by encouraging compact and more attractive urban forms and increased housing within existing urban areas, supports the urban renaissance drive and investment in the hubs. It also helps conserve town settings, makes for more efficient use of resources, and helps achieve sufficient competitive 'critical mass' in the interests of regional economic growth.
