Urban Design and Climate Change

Climate Change is probably single largest global challenge faced by us all. To do it's part., the RTPI has recently launched Planning to Live with Climate Change - Our 7 Commitments.

To help achieve the aims of the initiative, the RTPI Networks have established a cross-Network Climate Change Advisory Group.

With fellow members from across the Networks, the Champions will press widely for change and adaptation.  In addressing climate change through Urban Design, we ask:

"How do you think we can create successful places that endure the test of time?"
