Design and the Green New Deal (GND). Given the climate and ecological emergency that the world is currently facing, it is of paramount importance that architects support a socially just re-structuring of the world we inhabit. This effort should be intrinsically dependent on the health of the earth systems and trigger, in turn, a radical transformation of the role that individuals can collectively play in developing design proposals, mitigation strategies, advocacy initiatives and activism. One way to achieve this is by supporting a Green New Deal (GND). To co-ordinate this effort, Landscape Urbanism will explore this brief for the second year, and will get behind a project with the capacity to unite all the best intentions, preoccupations and existing proposals of the design community. This project is a GND, which the programme and its participants will contribute to shaping in the UK.
