What is being built in 2026? We want to find out. This year, we will focus on new towns, both proposed and already existing. What worked? What didn’t? What can we tell about the locations selected for the proposed new towns? Are they car dependent transport deserts or do they have the potential to be something else?

Volunteers

We are once again looking for volunteers to go on site visits. Going to every location we feature in our reports is what makes our work unique. We could not do it without our volunteers.

If you’ve already signed up via one of our forms you’ll hear from us later in the year. If you haven’t signed up and would like to be included please do so now. We’ll be in touch when the days start to get a bit warmer and longer.
