Surveyors’ role in shaping the built environment is hugely evident in the development of new towns, and there’s an invaluable reliance on public-private partnerships in such processes.
In this episode of The RICS Podcast, Tom Macartney FRICS (Hallbar Homes), Kevin Murray FRTPI (Kevin Murray Associates) & Peter Andrews MRICS (Cliffe House Estates) explore challenges in the planning system, long-term strategic thinking in revitalising towns and cities, and the surveyor’s role in creating successful development frameworks.
This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

  • The balance between work by development corporations and regeneration companies
  • How much change relies on public and private sector input
  • Whether the public or private sector needs to make the first move on stimulating demand in new areas
  • Avoiding building entirely new towns by leveraging existing infrastructure

In this podcast with Arup Senior Engineer Richard Boyd we explore how CEOs and their Board members can make sense of the Circular Economy in the built environment.

A circular lens encourages businesses to consider the impact of potential future events on asset value, and how the assets might adapt to new circumstances. If Covid leads to reduced demand for office space, how can offices be re-purposed without expensive and wasteful deconstruction? This is not without problems, as the experience of New York showed when businesses relocated to mid town Manhattan after 9/11 and offices were converted to residential use with mixed success. The UK has also had mixed success in commercial to residential conversion, as highlighted by RICS research on Permitted Development Rights https://www.rics.org/uk/news-insight/research/research-reports/assessing-the-impacts-of-extending-permitted-development-rights-to-office-to-residential-change-of-use-in-england/

The Circular economy in buildings is inspiring new business models such as Philips’ Signify, https://www.lighting.philips.com/main/cases/cases/airports/schiphol-airport Kaer https://www.caas-initiative.org/news/video-case-study-kaer-implements-caas-in-singapore/ and Mitsubishi Electric https://emea.mitsubishielectric.com/en/products-solutions/building/index.html Respectively they offer light, cooling and vertical transportation as a service to buildings occupiers. This gives occupiers assurances on running costs (since they do not own the systems) and incentivises the providers to minimise resource use, maximise component longevity and ensure they can be remanufactured for future clients.

Law makers are beginning to set Circular Economy performance standards. Denmark has a strategy to reduce GNP per tonne of material used https://dakofa.com/element/danish-national-strategy-for-circular-economy/#:~:text=Circular%20economy%20is%20all%20about,but%20in%20a%20new%20product.
