We believe that our research in OISD is highly relevant to policy-making in terms of the sustainable development agenda and its inter-relationship with the built environment. We also believe it is vital to highlight our findings from this research in a coherent way in order to inform the debate over a number of emerging policies, which have the potential for considerable impact on the future of the built environment in the UK, and elsewhere, over the coming decades. Our responses to consultations are listed below.
