Good Ideas... travel

Our concern for sound environmental management, efficient use of resources and sustainable patterns of development are as relevant to global issues as local ones. Sustainable forms of development that meet the long-term economic, social and environmental needs of all regions of the earth are urgently needed.

This demands a radical shift away from established, short-term ways of carrying out development. We have over 25 years of international experience in many regions of the world with a particular focus on Asia, where we are actively engaged in the sustainable development agenda in China, India and Malaysia.

In 2009 we established a permanent presence in China with the formation of Yang Cass Associates, a new practice in partnership with Professor Yang hang-xun, a very eminent Chinese architect and landscape architect. Please follow the link below for more information:
