Urban Design Policy

WHAT INSTITUTE MEMBERS NEED TO DO

•    Acknowledge the value of Urban Design in architectural practice.

•    Support initiatives that increase the sustainability of cities and improve the public domain. Challenge restrictive and inappropriate development controls with architectural solutions that reflect positive Urban Design outcomes.

•    Record and submit case studies, to your Minister for Planning, that demonstrate poor or excellent Urban Design controls by local government.

•    Get involved with the local community and the Institute to lobby State/Territory and local government for new Urban Design controls that promote sustainability, diversity and recognise the essential input of architects.
