Integral development of the built environment

Talking about the built environment can be a bit like discussing the national football team. Most people are interested in the subject, and almost everyone has an opinion about it. An opinion that we often substantiate with firm positions. And quite rightly so, says Perica Savanović. After all, we must, as individual citizens and as a society as a whole, live, work and recreate in the built environment. Still, residents are hardly involved in the design of their residential area, village, or district. In “Integral Development of the Built Environment,” Savanović discusses co-design in the context of the built environment. Without using the term co-design, he focuses on collaboration between building experts, residents, and policymakers. In this context, the built environment is literally the place where all stakeholders build the future together.
