In more detail
The Prince’s Foundation is an educational charity which aims to help people to take part in making communities and neighbourhoods more sustainable. The Foundation works at all levels – from local residents' groups to governments. Formerly known as the Institute of Architecture, the Foundation was set up in 1987 by the Prince of Wales.
The Prince’s Foundation pioneered ‘Enquiry by Design’. This is an approach to community planning based on bringing different experts – including resident experts – together for a concentrated, and intensive, period of time (several days). The Foundation provides practical support and funding for skills training and education designed to help professionals and communities, together, to make better places to live.
