Commercial advantage

Business should be concerned with Place Management as the discipline not only helps to create quality spaces for people to visit and do business but drives commercial return. Whether this is through greater footfall levels or developing a quality environment which attracts good staff and retains them over a period of time, Place Management helps to deliver a destination of choice – a brand which visitors, shoppers and workers alike can increasingly develop an affinity towards over time.

GJR Consulting specialises in designing strategies around the following themes:

• Public Realm improvement; strategies to help facilitate public realm improvement in partnership with public authorities, owners and developers
• Infrastructure; strategies to reduce congestion and stimulate investment with a focus on creating a destination for pedestrians rather than a thoroughfare for traffic
• Marketing; promotional activity to drive footfall and thus sales in the face of increasing competition and a general slowdown in consumer spending
• Street Operations; a zero tolerance approach to street management with a focus on environmental improvement, an integrated approach to reducing street crime and enhancing the perception of safety and creating a sense of place.
