RTPI award for wider engagement

Building with Nature were awarded RTPI’s Sir Peter Hall Award for Wider Engagement in September 2018. This award recognises the research and stakeholder engagement by Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and University of the West of England which revealed that uncertainty surrounds what constitutes high quality green infrastructure, and the inconsistency of delivery as a result. The outcome of the research was the creation of the Building with Nature benchmark which addresses the gap between policy aspirations and practical delivery.
