The RIBA has submitted evidence to the Farrell Review, a review of architecture and the built environment being led by Sir Terry Farrell and commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. In its response, the RIBA called for the introduction of a Built Environment Design policy and the appointment of a Chief Built Environment Design Adviser within government in order to embed a more ambitious approach to design in the built environment. The RIBA also called for government to show greater leadership as a client, recommending a series of reforms to public procurement and the use of public land designed to put greater emphasis on design quality.

REAL CORP conferences have been held annually since 1996. About 500 experts from around the world from the fields of urban planning, transport planning, information and communication technologies, architecture, social and environmental sciences, real estate, GIS, surveying, remote sensing and more meet to discuss current tasks and topics on urban planning, regional development and information society in an international and extremely interdisciplinary conference. The 2013 conference explored the relationship between time and space, and how the planning practise and theory relates itself to this complex synergy. Time and space work on different scales, dimensions and topics, and confront us with questions such as: How to plan taking into account time, both past history and future development? How to integrate monitoring within the planning decision processes, such as in the case of natural disasters? How to handle time that cannot be planned, such as long decision processes or real time decisions? A large number of papers are available online under the following themes: adapting cities for future challenges; fragile cities; smart cities; memory and imagination; monitoring to plan; governing green networks across borders; improving energy in urban areas; public participation; abandoned churches; cities for all; improving daily resilience of our cities; density and public space; data and planning; social housing; the role of real estate towards a sustainable future of cities; and climate change assessment.
