Today we can reveal the interim findings of the Building the Future Commission, Building’s ambitious year-long project to improve the built environment.

Since January we have been examining radical and challenging ideas that could help transform the built environment with the help of our panel of commissioners who are leading figures in the worlds of business, policy, research and education. 

The commission aims to tap into innovative ideas, amplify them and be an agent for change. The project has involved a UK-wide tour of roundtable discussions with experts around the regions, intitaives such as a Young Person’s Advisory Panel and consultation with the industry on ideas across eight topic areas, namely skills and education, energy and net zero, housing and planning, infrastructure, building safety, project delivery, workplace culture and leadership and creating communities.
