In anticipation of the UK General Election 2024, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) has presented the manifestos of ten of its members, including the Landscape Institute, to the UK government.
The manifestos outline key sector priorities and highlight the sector’s critical contributions to national policy discussions.
The manifestos urge the government to:
- Prioritise enhancing national health and wellbeing through the liveability of the built environment. This involves creating spaces that promote physical and mental health, safety, and accessibility for all.
- Recognise the urgency of developing a collaborative national roadmap with built environment professionals to urgently address climate change and biodiversity decline.
- Invest in innovation across built environment research, education, practice, and lifelong learning. This investment is crucial to drive advancements, equip professionals with new and emerging skills, and sustain the industry’s growth and resilience in the face of future challenges.
