    • Design

We recently attended the Built Environment Summit at the RIBA in Portland Place, London. It was a global conference serving as a call to action, bringing together professionals from across the international built environment sector to address the urgent need to drive changes in behaviour to reduce carbon emissions. In this podcast we discuss sustainable cities with Labour councillor Vincent Stops Chair of the Planning Committee at Hackney Council with 20 years experience in street policy, who has been a key driver in encouraging more innovative housing and timber construction schemes in the borough. We also catch up with Paul Brannen Director of Public Affairs at CEIBois, The European Confederation of the Woodworking Industries and a former Member of the European Parliament, who sat on the Agriculture and Environment committees, to discuss climate conscious construction and the role of timber. To get the lowdown on Vincent’s bicycle outrage and Paul’s call for a timber revolution listen on!
