The built environment faces an increasing number of complex social, environmental and economic challenges. From protecting project viability and navigating tight budgets to delivering real nature recovery and social value, the decisions our industry needs to make, and when we make them, are changing fast.
In his latest article for the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), Mark Richardson, Partner (Building Performance + Sustainability) at Troup Bywaters + Anders, draws on his experience and involvement across several UKGBC programmes spanning systems change, regenerative places and industry leadership.
Mark shares an honest look at what happens when ambitious sustainability ideas meet the practical realities of project delivery. Moving past the usual checklists, he reflects on the power of getting diverse perspectives into the room at the very start of a project, and what meaningful leadership looks like when we have to guide teams through uncertainty.
