INTEGER Objectives
Achieving change in housing is difficult. The industry
is complex, with a wide range of different stakeholders and a high level
of structural inertia. Customer expectations have traditionally been
low, and there have been few incentives to innovate. To engineer change,
it is necessary to involve as many of these stakeholders as possible
in a win-win, low risk programme of applied innovation. This is precisely
what INTEGER offers.
INTEGER is an open partnership involving all sides
of the housing industry from housing associations to private house builders,
from national housing organisations to architects and planners. Since
its inception, more than one hundred organisations have participated
as INTEGER partners, and the programme has received support from hundreds
of suppliers of innovative systems, products and services. This flexible,
open network is generating a remarkable dynamic for change, creating
shared opportunities for all involved. Such opportunities include housing
associations wishing to provide more socially and environmentally acceptable
housing schemes, and planners and local authorities seeking ways of
meeting environmental performance improvement targets.
