The time seems right for academia to realise that things are not working and it needs to change

Regarding Chris Wise’s article Sustainability is for sharing (22 February, page 26) - this is a timely challenge not just to engineering and architectural design professionals, but also the entire built environment sector. I’m hearing a growing undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the current educational model and we need voices like this to highlight the issue.

Chris hope for fireworks - so do I. The time seems right for academia to realise that things are not working and it needs to change. I’m on board.
