Achieving improved outcomes for people and nature through innovative economic infrastructure: A Case Study of The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade

At setec, we are committed to delivering economic infrastructure that not only meets the needs of communities but also enhances and preserves the natural environment. Our project, The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade, exemplifies how our core principles of integrated project delivery, strong governance, purpose-driven project management, leadership, collaboration, and continuous learning are applied to achieve improved outcomes for people and nature.

Integrated Project Delivery with a Focus on Outcomes

The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade project embodies our commitment to integrated project delivery. By bringing together various stakeholders, including local communities, environmental experts, and urban planners, we ensured that every aspect of the project was carefully coordinated to achieve our desired outcomes: revitalising the urban landscape, promoting active transportation, and enhancing biodiversity.

Utilising Strong Governance and Informed Decision-Making

Throughout the project lifecycle, we prioritised strong governance and informed decision-making. We conducted thorough environmental assessments, engaged with local residents and community groups, and collaborated closely with municipal authorities to ensure that every decision was grounded in sound science, community feedback, and regulatory compliance.

Purpose-Driven Project Management

From its inception, The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade project was driven by a clear purpose: to create a vibrant, accessible public space that celebrates both cultural heritage and natural beauty. Our project management approach was guided by this purpose, ensuring that every design choice, construction method, and community engagement effort contributed to realising our vision.

Leadership and Cultural Shift

The success of The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade project also reflects our commitment to leadership and cultural shift. We worked closely with local leaders, stakeholders, and community advocates to foster a sense of ownership and stewardship over the project. By empowering local residents to take an active role in shaping their environment, we catalysed a cultural shift towards sustainability and community engagement.

Collaboration and Interdisciplinary Teams

Central to the success of The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade project was our collaborative approach and interdisciplinary teams. We assembled a diverse team of experts, including landscape architects, civil engineers, biodiversity specialists, and cultural heritage experts, to tackle the multifaceted challenges of urban redevelopment and environmental conservation. Through close collaboration and knowledge sharing, we were able to design a promenade that seamlessly integrates cultural heritage preservation with ecological restoration.

Continuous Learning and Adaptability

Throughout the development and implementation of The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade project, we remained committed to continuous learning and adaptability. We actively solicited feedback from stakeholders, monitored project performance, and embraced iterative design processes to ensure that our solutions were responsive to evolving needs and conditions. By remaining agile and open to innovation, we were able to overcome challenges and optimise outcomes for both people and nature.

In conclusion, The Paulette and Jane Nardal Promenade project serves as a testament to setec‘s commitment to achieving improved outcomes for people and nature through innovative economic infrastructure. By applying our core principles of integrated project delivery, strong governance, purpose-driven project management, leadership, collaboration, and continuous learning, we have created a sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant public space that enriches the lives of residents and enhances the natural environment.
