The UK Green Building Council<\/a> (UKGBC) has partnered with Enfield Council<\/a>, to accelerate radical solutions for the delivery of sustainability on large regeneration schemes<\/h2>\n

The UKGBC Foreground programme will bring together a wide array of businesses, policy-makers, not-for-profits and universities to examine how to turn these ambitions into reality on the 10,000-home, 25-year Meridian Water regeneration project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Foreground programme is funded by EIT Climate-KIC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The team anticipates in-depth exploration of themes such as innovative approaches to finance and value; procuring for radical outcomes; and innovations in community engagement and governance.<\/p>\n

The programme will look beyond just one scheme, to produce a \u2018Playbook\u2019, designed to support leadership on large-scale development or regeneration schemes across the country.<\/p>\n

This is likely to be particularly useful for knowledge-sharing across local authority and the public sector<\/a>, but should also be widely applicable to private sector clients.<\/p>\n

A thriving local economy<\/h3>\n

Enfield council leader, Nesil Caliskan, said: \u201cWe are absolutely committed to providing sustainable solutions to major projects and I\u2019m genuinely excited about the prospect of this partnership with the UK Green Building Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership will help contribute toward our goal of making the council carbon neutral by 2030<\/a> and the borough carbon neutral by 2040.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Alker, director of policy and places at UKGBC, said: \u201cThere is no longer a debate as to why we should strive for zero-carbon<\/a>, circular and environmentally regenerative outcomes on major new development schemes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge is how we deliver this in practice, in a way that strengthens communities and supports a thriving local economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to exploring radical approaches to address this challenge through a genuinely collaborative process, one which we intend to be of value not just for Enfield Council, but for any local authority with a commitment to sustainability leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
