Twenty-three organisations have joined forces to launch a pioneering action plan that will overhaul place-making skills and improve the delivery of homes and communities.
The main aims of the action plan are to:
– Attract new entrants and retain existing people in the core professions
– Develop generic skills in areas like low carbon, climate change, empowerment, community cohesion, risk sharing, negotiation, process re-modelling, place leadership and partnership working
– Ensure technical and specialist skills like planning, urban design and skills for changing economic markets are updated in line with new processes, standards, legislation and economic conditions.
