Policy & Research

The Prince’s Foundation has active working partnerships with many of the leading stakeholders in urban design and architecture. These include government departments and their agencies — the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Regional Development Agencies, the Secretary of State for Health, English Partnerships and Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment. It is also allied to the Congress for the New Urbanism in the USA and to the emerging Council for European Urbanism. The Foundation works in partnership with the The Prince's Regeneration Trust on heritage-based regeneration projects, and much of the work it supports overseas is performed through an international network of practitioners via sister organisation the International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism (INTBAU). A global network of friends, supporters and professional bodies includes the major participants in the traditional architecture and urbanism movement.

All partnerships share the common goal of delivering sustainable urbanism. Each is constituted of specific initiatives which meet strategic goals for the partners while delivering educational benefits and developing best practice.
