Abstract
David Thorpe’s The One Planet Life: A Blueprint for the Future came out in 2016. Arguing for a more sustainable way of living, the book – along with other publications – has been vital to helping change the attitudes that we have towards planning, design and land use. In this article update to our 2016 briefing, we look at the problems that surround sustainable building and investment and explore some of the attempts thus far to create One Planet cities and communities.
