New article by #LDADesign's Sophie Thompson about how we need to #plan and #design for people and for #nature and avoid false dichotomies that do more harm than good. Time to have more respect for both. Supporting nature can't just be dismissed as 'woke'. #BDOnline www.bdonline.co.uk/opinion/plan...
