Organisation Outline:
CABE, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, is the government’s advisor on architecture, urban design and public space.
We work directly with architects, planners, designers, developers and clients, offering them guidance on projects that will shape lives. And parks and
open spaces are as important to us as bricks and mortar.
We give clients hands-on advice on ways to get better value through better design, keeping them up to date and encouraging them to take the best approach from
the very start. And our design review work shows clients what mistakes to avoid and what opportunities to seize.
Fundamentally, CABE works on behalf of the public. That’s why we’re determined to inspire people to demand more from buildings and spaces. They, after all,
are the people left behind after the planners and architects have moved on.
CABE was set up in 1999 and it is now a statutory body, funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Communities and Local Government.
