This only works as a conversation with consequences
AICB is a design in public. It needs lawyers, engineers, local government people, landholders, and residents who have lived through a planning inquiry and still want the next town to be better.
Useful work
- Stress-test the Act. Mark clauses that would fail Commons scrutiny or judicial construction, and send the replacement clause.
- Improve the Pattern Book brief. Typologies that are buildable, insurable, and vernacular — not another pattern-language poster.
- Endow the social commons. How large a reserved housing stock, on what tenancy rules, funded from which slice of uplift.
- Name a footprint honestly. A candidate that meets the statutory tests and can win a regional jury, not only a slide deck.
