The Prince’s Foundation’s Rapid Planning Toolkit is a four-step process designed to guide a multi-disciplinary approach in the inclusive planning and design of the urban extents of rapidly growing cities and towns. Though the toolkit is designed to be used in towns and cities, a collaborative effort has been underway in the past two years to apply it to a growing village in Bangladesh as part of an education initiative that will provide valuable further testing of our resource. The project has been announced as one of 12 award-winners for producing outstanding examples of reimagining landscape, as part of the second annual #WestMidlandsNationalPark International Lecture and Awards. It was named winner in the International Award category. The project centres round the village of Kazirgaon, in an area of wetlands in north-east Bangladesh, and is supported by The Prince’s Foundation. It is led by professor Saha Kawshik of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology in Bangladesh, Eccles Ng, who is a deputy course director BA (Hons) Landscape Architecture at @mybcu and a British Bangladeshi Architect based in the UK, Abu Siddiki. The Prince’s Foundation’s #RapidPlanningToolkit, a guide for planners and decision-makers, has been used worldwide in the planning for expansion of urban areas, thereby reducing the chance of needlessly depleting natural resources, ensuring adequate sanitation, reducing vehicle use, and allowing walkable access through planned roads and routes. Alice Preston Jones of The Prince’s Foundation said: “Having seen the toolkit produce positive results in cities across the world, we are pleased that it has proven to be useful and successful in a village setting. This is very interesting because hopefully it will reduce pressure on nearby secondary cities and towns, where the toolkit was originally designed to be used. “The work by Birmingham and Bangladeshi students on this has been exemplary and we hope they carry their experience and expertise into the professional world to positive effect. Everyone at #ThePrincesFoundation would like to congratulate them on this award.”
