Championing
Find out about how our team of built environment professionals convene wide ranging groups to promote discussions about key topics and strive for innovative solutions to tackle issues as far ranging as net zero carbon housing, rapid planning, and the peri-urban condition.
Building A Legacy
The King’s Foundation captured the model of Legacy Development for landowners in 2017 and steadily built a network of landowners, developers, and consultants to meet, debate, and share knowledge.
This group has grown significantly and is probably the largest formal group of major landowners in the country. Through the annual Building A Legacy Awards, we celebrate exemplary projects and inspire an alternative approach to house building and development.
Rapid Planning Toolkit
The Rapid Planning Toolkit for Urban Expansion is designed to help city mayors, their teams and built environment professionals create simple, robust and implementable urban framework plans to manage any required urban expansion.
The Toolkit has been piloted in Bo in Sierra Leone, where it helped the community avert over-development in sensitive and flood-prone wetlands, and instead identify and structure new walkable growth areas, creating roads and infrastructure routes and protecting community assets.
Regional Building Hubs
The King’s Foundation is developing the Regional Building Hubs initiative, a new model which aims to support small to medium-sized regional builders to scale up building new sustainable settlements built on stewardship principles and supporting regional and local supply chains through promoting and developing local skills and therefore supporting local economies.
