Insight
Sunak’s rollback of net zero targets is ‘short-term thinking’
Industry experts have expressed anger at the government’s plans to delay its sustainability commitments.
I hope we can continue to create beautiful architecture, while enduring this period of economic uncertainty that has hit architects quite hard.
I hope policymakers will focus on promoting housing supply, rather than applying restrictive constraints that halt progress of delivery. I like to think the glass is always half full, so I expect that by Q2 we will see an exhilarating rush of investment and new projects. I am less optimistic in respect of immediately fixing our planning system, but hopeful that changes can be made to better supply the public’s demand for high quality homes.
Resolution: To keep trying to achieve the best for our practice, to nurture our amazing and talented teams in London, Manchester and Poznan, to love our clients and (maybe) to go to the gym.
