As we all go green - or greener - the issue of sustainability in the built environment is of growing concern, but what are the real issues?

What does sustainability really mean? Is it simply about the environment, or about creating sustainable communities?

Where does responsibility for thinking sustainably ultimately lie - with developers, architects or all of us?

Our panel will be looking at these issues and inviting further questions from the audience.

In collaboration with the University of Cambridge Department of Architecture
