Influencing the future of our built environment through inquisitive research and strategic policy.

The buildings and places we design are instrumental in improving the lives and opportunities of those who inhabit them. Yet our greatest impact is often through asking challenging questions, leading the public conversation and helping to shape the national debate.

RCKa’s agenda-setting research into the use of land and the equitability and accessibility of public space has received mainstream press coverage and is helping to set the direction of national strategic policy.
