The Construction Leadership Council has welcomed the publication of Our Vision for the Built Environment.
The “reinvent” phase of CLC’s Roadmap to Recovery plan, supported by CLC’s new strategy, signals how industry can adapt so this vision can be delivered by a skilled and innovative industry that is productive, predictable, profitable and sustainable.
This future industry will create long-term, high quality jobs and be unlocked to innovate, producing solutions that lower carbon, reduce waste and improve performance, growing the capability and capacity in UK businesses - large and small - to attract the best talent to deliver this vision.
In meeting this vision with a transformed industry, we will enable wider society to benefit through high quality, energy efficient homes; safer public buildings such as schools that support better educational outcomes; reliable, interconnected transport networks that enable secure and predictable journeys, low carbon; affordable energy and utility networks that deliver reliably to meet our needs and safe. accessible, high-performing buildings and infrastructure that work forall and meet our obligations to future generations.
CLC co-chair, Andy Mitchell said: “This vision for the built environment has come at a time when our need to understand how people and nature can flourish together has never been stronger.
“It has been developed through broad consultation across the industry and will inevitably mean different things to different people and different parts of the industry. It is not for the CLC to set future policy on such matters or indeed to impose a single vision on the industry but the CLC is happy to host this vision as a reference point for others to consider. Please feel free to use this document as you see fit as you make your plans for the future of the built environment.”
Simon Lawrence, Programme Director for Major Infrastructure Tracking at the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) said the vision continues the spirit of collaboration between industry and government over the past year, setting out principles consistent with government priorities and recent publications.
“As we move through COVID-19 recovery and look towards COP26, the IPA will publish Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030, setting out the collective efforts required to achieve the transformation needed across the system of the built environment,” he explained.
