Location

To unlock potential, the most appropriate interventions need to be made in the right places.

All locations, from motorway junctions to an entire landscape, have an inherent value - in terms of their social, economic and environmental characteristics - which in turn influence their functionality. However, this functionality can be one dimensional, focusing on a single primary purpose and potentially not taking account of all of the possible facets of the location.

PBRS combines social, economic and environmental attributes to highlight a location's potential - unlocking a location's latent functionality, and identifying where development, regeneration or other intervention can be directed to result in multi-functional sites that deliver wider public benefits.
