The way we inhabit our planet is undoubtedly a driver of the unfolding climate and biodiversity crisis. The living environment we have created, and the way we manage it, consumes vast quantities of land, raw materials and fossil fuel energies \u2013 and generates significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and waste. On the other hand, all too often in our cities, we are witnessing a loss of quality in our built environment, evident in the trivialisation of construction, the lack of design values and the deterioration of historic fabric.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2160\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3840 \/ 2160;\" width=\"3840\" autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/ace-cae.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Escalation_Angle.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We must act now, to change the way our living environment is designed, built, maintained, renovated, managed and regulated. We need to adopt an attitude that favours the common good and quality of life and puts people and nature at the core of all spatial and urban developments. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of these challenges at all governance levels.&nbsp;<br><br>The European Union, Member States and cities have embarked on a radical transformation of our built environment to make it less energy and resource\u2013intensive, more resilient to climate change and more inclusive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-text-align-left\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;Architects are agents of change. They have the necessary skill set to help local communities to re-imagine their living environments.
