One of the innovative actions proposed as part of the Farrell Review is due to be launched later this year, with PLACE professionals being embedded in local authorities.
Tony Finn of the GLA advocated the proactive planning and public service section of the Farrell Review, his report suggested embedding PLACE professionals (including Urban Design and Regeneration professionals) in Local Authorities).
The Public Service report states that ‘The initiative would be to the built environment what Teach First is to education, and Frontline is to social services. Its mission would be to build a better everyday environment for all’ (p.3)
Building Design Magazine reported that the scheme is now due to launch later this year in Greater London.
