Simon Allford said urgent action was required on economic uncertainty and the climate crisis
RIBA president Simon Allford has said the resignation of Boris Johnson is an opportunity for the Conservative Party to “take stock and refocus on priorities”.
Johnson announced he was quitting as Tory leader yesterday after more than 50 MPs resigned from the government in two days.
菅直人曾表示，他打算在唐宁街10号一直待到秋天，他的继任者竞选时间表将于下周公布。
Allford said: “Amidst all the uncertainty, the climate crisis and its implications on the built environment - urgent action is required. This is an opportunity for a new leader to step up and take that action.
“从提高建筑的可持续性、安全性和质量到解决住房危机，建筑师都扮演着关键的角色。
“We will be reaching out to the new leader and their ministers as soon as they are in post - encouraging them to draw on the expertise in our industry, to help make our buildings and communities fit for the future.”
Johnson has appointed an interim cabinet which includes new housing and levelling up secretary Greg Clark and education secretary James Cleverly.
The new ministers will face the same issues which have blighted Johnson’s premiership in recent months, including rampant inflation and a slowing economy.
Angus Duguid, regional commercial business leader at architect HKS said the interim cabinet and the next leader need to focus on stabilising inflation to provide certainty about the viability of schemes both in the private and public sectors.
“Delivering many aspects of government policy, whether building new hospitals, delivering thousands of new homes or creating infrastructure to help ‘level up’ the economy needs a flourishing property and construction industry.
“Although we can continue to plan for tightening of economic conditions, uncertainty is still the biggest risk.”
He added that the new government should look at reducing the insurance burden which is “pricing practices out of the public sector and reducing opportunities for innovation and growth across the industry”.
