“Where people live has a major effect on their life. If where they live is well-planned, well-designed and well managed, their quality of life is likely to be a great deal better than that of those who live elsewhere. Better places to live challenges local authorities and developers to think more imaginatively about design and layout.”-Lord Falconer of Thoroton QC, Minister for Housing, Planning and RegenerationThis guide aims to promote deeper thought and greater flair from those entrusted with creating better Places to Live.
