There are many ways to start the week - I usually rely on very strong coffee! But this week was a little different.
I attended the East of England Sustainable Building Network, a fantastic initiative started by Cannon Clarke Architects. We had a really useful presentation from Jon Brent and James Cotton explaining how they had developed a "toolkit" that would educate and encourage their clients to move towards Carbon Neutral development.
They have me asking the question, should I, as a Chartered Town Planner, only be prepared to work for clients who are prepared to engage in sustainable forms of development like this? Would I risk clients going elsewhere? Should the whole profession adopt a similar approach? Frankly, I don't know. What I do know is initiatives like this are key to starting such conversations.
