"Call for evidence on how best to unlock large scale housing development"

Link to RTPI web site

"The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), represents 23,000 planners worldwide, working in the private, public, education and charity sectors, and is the membership organisation of professional planners in the UK..

"It has issued a call for evidence on how best to unlock large-scale housing development, the first step in a piece of research aiming to suggest practical solutions that would allow communities to meet housing need in their area.

"The RTPI is asking stakeholders in the built environment to answer seven specific questions by the 5th July, ... including:

"How important is the process of community engagement? Can you give examples where community engagement has worked effectively in the delivery of large-scale housing developments?"
[We can certainly give an example where Hammerson and London Communications Agency were too greedy and incompetent (respectively) to worry about 'community engagement'.]
