We are thrilled to announce that the Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work was Highly Commended at the Healthy City Design International Congress 2024.
The Design Research category was the most hotly contested according to the organisers, which makes this recognition all the more special and significant.

The Engagement Overlay was co-authored by Sarah Jones-Morris (lead) and Dr Jo Morrison of the ACD, in partnership with Rachel Goater and Paul Ruffles of Sustrans. RIBA's Alex Ryan edited the published document that can be found on RIBA's website: https://www.architecture.com/knowledge-and-resources/resources-landing-page/engagement-overlay-to-riba-plan-of-work
40 place professionals from 30 organisations contributed to the research over a period of two and a half years.
The ACD is in the process of creating training that is associated with the Engagement Overlay. Please contact hello@theacd.org.uk if you would like to learn more.
