Developing purpose and value-led places

Sustainability – environmental, social, and economic – is becoming a key consideration for people around the world. Firstly, places will need to demonstrate their green credentials through actions rather than just words. Secondly, there is a mounting expectation for real action on equality, diversity, and inclusion – places ought to lead by example. And finally, as more and more people are struggling to make ends meet, decisions should be guided by prudence in how you spend and affordability in what you offer.
