Home >>A+DS to support Scotland’s 6 Pathfinder Urban Regeneration Companies.

Architecture and Design Scotland (A+DS) has teamed up with the Scottish Executive Development Department to drive forward the design agenda with the six (6) Pathfinder Urban Regeneration Companies (URCs).

The three year Framework Agreement will allow a dedicated programme of work under the People and Place Regeneration Policy Statement, thereby raising the level of ambition and design quality throughout the URC areas.

Through A+DS’s Enabling Programme, dedicated, hands-on assistance to the URCs and their partners will be provided. Up to 200 days of assistance will be provided by a team of built environment experts from a variety of professions and fields. Assistance and guidance will be provided on:

• Strategic design decisions, including: policy preparation, engaging with development partners, and procuring supporting design services, and

• Project design decisions, including: client management of design processes, masterplanning and site development briefs, and the selection and management of design teams engaged in strategic or site specific projects.
