Building better places was published on Friday 19 February 2016, and contains a range of recommendations designed to improve the way national policy is developed and implemented in the built environment, including design quality, sustainability, housing and professional skills.

Design Council Cabe welcome the report, which builds on our written and oral evidence given to the Committee. We advocate and deliver strategic design advice and support across England. We look forward to continuing our work with the government to promote the delivery of well-designed and planned developments, stimulating sustainable economic growth for all.
