services

DWA is committed to designing and implementing strategies that regenerate places. Doug regularly works with a network of partners from a range of disciplines to investigate, evaluate, unpick, measure and understand. The service portfolio is structured around four core areas:

1. Cities Towns & Neighbourhoods: integrated place based regeneration strategies that include programmes and projects targeted at local economic development, mixed use, social inclusion, physical and environmental renewal that unlock the potential within local and regional economies.

2. Strategic property initiatives, feasibility studies and research: that respond to the dynamics of growth sectors, and low carbon and post-carbon technologies, the knowledge economy and compliment and not duplicate existing delivery arrangements. Knowledge is increasingly the primary factor driving value generation, growth and changing the character of economic relationships. Doug’s specialist interests include the property requirements of growth sectors like digital media, creative industries and low carbon technology.

3. Involvement & consultation: innovative approaches based on collaboration with clients and partners are fundamental to build capacity and ownership. A key principle is to embed and share learning with clients.

4. Programme design & project development and delivery: are key to effective, realistic and practical proposals for action.
