'Design is the key to a project's success'

摘要

Why renew Scotland's architecture policy now? We're facing a new economic reality, action on climate change continues to gather pace, and the referendum next year has stimulated a debate on our culture and heritage. Our role is to create conditions in which design innovation and our culture and heritage can thrive. What does the policy document aim to achieve? It goes further than previous policies on architecture by including 'place' as a central consideration. At the centre of the policy is an action plan with which we'll measure how the policy is adopted at a local level and how individual initiatives make a difference.
