Book nowOverview
The built environment has significant potential to improve outcomes for people and nature. Realising that potential requires better decisions about existing systems and future investment.
Last year the Built Environment Connective recommended the Infrastructure Systems Review, to examine how better system understanding can improve important decisions about the built environment and identify the capabilities needed nationally to turn those decisions into effective action.
The recommendation received support from the Infrastructure Client Group, the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority and the Green Construction Board.
Drawing on insights from 15 case studies, the Review will set out practical actions to make outcome-focused decision-making and stewardship standard practice.
On 18 November the case studies will be published at this special launch event - a chance to see how systems thinking is already improving insight, decision-making and outcomes in the built environment.
