It’s been a pleasure collaborating with MVRDV NEXT on our vision for Holt Town in Manchester - featured today in Architects’ Journal.

Our Holt Town Neighbourhood Development Framework is one of the first planning documents in the UK to be informed by a Digital Twin - a three-dimensional, data-rich replica of Holt Town that has actively shaped our proposals.

Digital twins have tremendous potential to transform strategic planning. Over time, a live digital twin could:

- Safeguard design principles as projects evolve
- Enable meaningful community engagement
- Visualise ideas in accessible, inclusive ways
- Support long-term environmental performance and stewardship

We hope this collaboration will inspire more digital placemaking across the UK - creating resilient, rooted urban environments that can evolve and adapt to the changing needs of people and planet.
